Persistent knee pain that won’t go away? It could be a stress fracture.
Stress fractures in the knee are often misdiagnosed as simple overuse or tendon irritation—until the pain worsens, mobility drops, and the damage becomes harder (and more expensive) to reverse.
At Ortho Las Vegas, we help patients like you—active adults, weekend athletes, and busy professionals—catch these injuries early and recover fully. We don’t just hand you a brace and hope for the best. We give you the clarity, support, and advanced options you need to return to life without compromise.
What Is a Knee Stress Fracture?
A knee stress fracture is a small, hairline crack in the bone—usually in the tibia, femur, or patella—caused by repetitive load or overuse. Unlike sudden traumatic fractures, stress fractures build gradually and worsen over time if ignored.
