Abstract
Eight patients are described who had sustained insufficiency fractures of the distal tibia, in one case, bilaterally. Seven of the eight patients had RA. Features common to most patients were delay in diagnosis, low body weight, pain and swelling around the ankle joint, steroid therapy, generalized osteopenia and relatively young age. Patients with RA all had ankle joint involvement and impaired mobility.Keywords
