I was a distance runner and had stress fractures of my tibia in high school and college (two if I recall; possibly three). This was not an uncommon injury for distance runners. Those were the only fractures I’ve ever had. Any idea how these would be classified?

@cliffdweller, fractures from repetitive stress are called fatigue or stress fractures; they are definitely not frailty fractures. After the callus stage the bone remodels usually recovering 100% of its original strength.
