Danny Choi Out Due to Stress Fracture

stress-fractures.jpgDanny Choi of Adelaide United suffered a stress fracture foot injury in early November, ending his stint with the team. He had to have surgery to repair the fracture and was expected to be out for 10 to 12 weeks. Choi had originally joined United in October as a replacement for Marcelo Carrusca and had participated in two games leading up to his injury. Following his injury, Choi is no longer available for a contract next season.

Coping with Podiatric Stress Fractures

Stress Fractures occur on the foot and ankle when muscles in these areas weaken as a result of overexertion or underuse.  As a result, the ankles and feet lose support when walking or running from the ground. Since these bones are not protected, they receive the full impact of each step. The stress on the feet causes the bones to form cracks.

What are Stress Fractures?

Stress Fractures are very common among those who are highly active and involved in sports or activities that make excessive use of their legs and feet. Stress fractures are especially common among:

-athletes (gymnasts, tennis players, basketball players)
-runners/joggers
-osteoporosis patients
-those who engage in high-intensity workouts

Stress Fracture Symptoms

Pain from the fractures occur in the area of the fractures, and can be either constant or periodic. The pain is usually sharp or dull, accompanied by swelling and tenderness. Engagement in any kind of high impact activity will exacerbate the pain.
