Abstract
We report a collegiate field hockey player who sustained a sacral fatigue-type stress fracture that manifested as persistent low back and leg pain. The diagnosis of sacral stress fracture was suggested by history and physical examination and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Our patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms after a 3-mo interval of activity restriction. This article describes the first reported case of a sacral stress fracture in a field hockey player.
