Stress fractures - a detailed thread 🦴🦴🦴

I thought I'd put together an overview & some clinical nuggets from the 'coal-face'

First up, I prefer to call them 'bone stress injuries' - majority don't have a # line on imaging & the language can be scary / nocebic for some

🧵 Did you know? 🤔

In sports, rupture of the distal

🚨Ever done Babinksi testing and found the patient is very ticklish and has a withdrawal response making it difficult to assess for a true Babinski sign?🤔😭

👇Well read on, in this thread I will go through Babinski and some variations that can be utilised to aid your assessment

[Dr. Mike Todorovic 🧠 @drmiketodorovic]

🚨 What is Nociception? 💥
Simply put, it is the biological detection of noxious stimuli.
The sensory experience associated with nociception is pain 😣
But!! Pain is far more complex than nociception - they are not synonymous…
