In this case report we describe an unusual case of bilateral distal fibula stress fractures during late pregnancy. The predisposing and precipitating factors for development of stress fractures were examined, and an evaluation of the impact of pregnancy related factors were completed. Our patient presented at 32 weeks of her pregnancy when the stress fractures developed and was evaluated both in the Emergency Department and orthopaedic outpatient clinic. She was diagnosed with bilateral distal fibula stress fractures which were managed conservatively due to their stable nature and monitored until union. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
