Abstract
A 19-year-old female US Army trainee presented to a direct-access physical therapy clinic reporting 1 week of bilateral dorsal foot pain that was worse on the right than the left side. Due to swelling, focal tenderness, and pain, the physical therapist ordered radiographs to evaluate for a potential stress fracture. The radiographs revealed that the fourth metatarsals were notably shorter than the others, but were negative for other pathology.
