Abstract: Stress fractures of the 5th metatarsus are common among sportive people, especially in runners. Because of difficulty in diagnosis and evaluation, sometimes these fractures remain without proper treatment. Anyway, after diagnosis, treatment should be properly conducted in order to avoid complications or relapses that may occur when athlete return to sport. The knowledge of risk factors and sportive movements that could be previous to this pathology is the first preventive strategy.
