A 33-year-old woman with chronic underweight status (body mass index, 16.59 kg\/m2) presented with a 2- to 3-week history of right lateral hindfoot pain that reportedly began during treadmill walking in association with a perceived twisting event. The medical record documented tenderness in the region of the calcaneofibular ligament and a negative talar tilt test, but heel-specific examination was incompletely documented. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) obtained at the initial evaluation was formally interpreted as showing a calcaneal tuberosity stress fracture and quadratus plantae strain, with no abnormality reported in the ankle ligament complexes. On retrospective MRI review, an incomplete, vertically oriented fracture line extending to the cortex without articular extension or osseous displacement was identified, with surrounding marrow signal abnormality meeting the imaging criteria for Nattiv grade 4. Weight-bearing radiographs obtained 4 days later showed a corresponding sclerotic band. This case illustrates MRI\u2013radiographic correlation in a calcaneal tuberosity stress fracture presenting with lateral hindfoot pain and supports inclusion of osseous injury in the differential diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/japma116050062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T10:10:33Z","timestamp":1788430233000},"page":"62","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Calcaneal Stress Fracture Presenting with Lateral Hindfoot Pain in a Young Woman: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"116","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8678-9601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hongseo","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital, Changwon 51472, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7898-1923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyeong Jun","family":"Son","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital, Changwon 51472, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8351-5226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chang Han","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Changwon Hospital, Changwon 51472, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min-Kyun","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7764-1522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun Shin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1426-6582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayoung","family":"Byun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Science, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju 52727, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e70230","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.70230","article-title":"Epidemiologic patterns of musculoskeletal disorders by body region across 1.2 million orthopedic visits: A 15-year experience from a middle-income country","volume":"31","author":"Akkurt","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
