Abstract
Stress fractures commonly occur in athletes and military cadets due to repetitive stress on the bony cortex. Stress fractures of the tibia are commonly localized proximally and occur during aerobic weightbearing exercises. This is an unusual case of bilateral simultaneous distal tibial stress fracture in a young homemaker.
