Abstract

Stress fractures are common injuries that begin with repetitive and excessive stress on the bone. It is very rarethat stress fracture was occurred in pubis superior ramus in athletics, and the report concerning the exercise therapyfor this fracture was not sufficient in the literature. We report of a case of a 17-year-old male soccer player whosuffered from left inguinal pain due to the stress fracture of pubis superior ramus. He was conducted an exerciseprogram that consisted of muscle strength, stretching, aerobic and functional exercise for 2 months. After thisintervention, all muscle strength was significantly improved (17%) compared to baseline data, and also flexibilityand range of motion were improved. This case shows that exercise therapy considered the cause and cyclicformation of bone remodeling is benefit to improve the exercise performance for a soccer player with superior ramusstress fracture.
