Abstract
Proximal fibular stress fracture is an uncommon injury in athletes but has been frequently reported in the military population. Although the true incidence is unknown and its pathophysiology is not completely understood, proximal fibular stress fracture is believed to be a rare injury and awareness of it will help clinicians make the proper diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment.
