ABSTRACT
Stress fractures of the tibia are relatively common in military and young people. However, stress fracture of the proximal tibia is rare in elderly patients, but has been reported in association with osteoporosis, Paget disease, rheumatoid arthritis, pyrophosphate arthropathy, and knee deformities. We experienced a 65-year-old patient who did not have a chronic disease, with a stress fracture with primary degenerative knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity, which occurred at the proximal tibia, and we report on this unusual case with a literature review.
