OBJECTIVE: To present the case of a 19-year-old collegiate distance runner diagnosed with a unilateral sacral stress fracture. BACKGROUND: Low back and @entity158 are common in female athletes but are often difficult to differentiate. Although @entity1642 in young female athletes are rarely reported, they are a potential cause of @entity1643 . DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: Acute @entity6475 , @entity66 , @entity6475 , @entity1643 , @entity1643 , @entity6475 , or @entity154 . TREATMENT: Six weeks of active rest and nutritional counseling followed by an incremental 8-week @entity5516 program. The athlete returned to symptom-free competitive @entity5516 within 4 months. UNIQUENESS: This young athlete presented with a unilateral sacral stress fracture with components of the female athlete triad and a vigorous exercise regime. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1642 are rare in the young female athletic population. Because @entity1642 in female runners have various etiologies, a thorough @entity1 history and diagnostic imaging are necessary in the evaluation. Athletes can return to their normal activity once a successful management strategy has addressed all components of the female athlete triad while providing adequate rest. Prevention strategies, such as screening for the components of the female athlete triad, may help to decrease injuries and promote healthier lifestyles among this population.
