description Stress fractures may occur at various sites in the femur including the head, neck, shaft, supracondylar and condylar regions. To the best of our knowledge, stress fracture occurring in the trochanteric region has not been previously reported.

Careful consideration of this entity is needed when evaluating patients who have repetitive jumping up and down.
