Tibial stress fracture in pyrophosphate arthropathy

Abstract

Five elderly patients with chronic pyrophosphate arthropathy developed stress fractures of the tibia.

Such a possibility should be considered in patients with chronic pyrophosphate arthropathy since early recognition makes management of the stress fracture easier.
