Nuclear Medicine is looking for new ways of medical action. Our study aim to awake the attention to athletic medicine. Stress fracture is a common injury in healthy athletic patients and leads to local pain, often with no radiologic finds. We report two cases of young athletic patients (volley-ball players) presented with right and left leg pain, normal radiologic evaluations and stress fracture signs detected with Tc99m-MDP scintigraphy.
