Abstract
Stress fractures are a considerable burden to military organisations. Despite the large volume of evidence regarding incidence rates and risk factors for stress fractures, a comprehensive synthesis of high-quality academic evidence is lacking. This aim of this review was to identify and synthesise findings from studies reporting on the incidence of, and risk factors for, stress fractures in military personnel.
