Prophylaxis
The so-called stress fractures in healthy bones occur most frequently in athletes. You can avoid a fatigue fracture by taking care not to expose the tibia to very high stress over a long period of time. Competitive athletes should also set up their training plan with a professional trainer and a sports physician.
This will ensure that the body has sufficient time between training sessions to recover and replenish its resources. Fatigue fractures can also be prevented by wearing the right running shoes. It is important to wear well-fitting sports shoes that are capable of absorbing the shocks and changes in the running surface.
This can prevent fine cracks in the bone in particular.Appropriate inserts can also cushion the impact load. Therefore, athletes and beginners should consult a specialist for a suitable pair of running shoes.
