Stress fractures of the femoral neck are uncommon injuries. In general these injuries are seen in two distinct populations: (1) young, healthy, active individuals such as recreational runners, endurance athletes, or military recruits; and (2) the elderly who have osteoporosis. Stress fractures can be classified as either fatigue or insufficiency fractures and result from untoward cyclic loading or impaired bone quality. The key to treatment is early diagnosis, which may require scintigraphy or magnetic resonance imaging. Nondisplaced compression type stress fractures can be treated nonoperatively with protected weight-bearing and frequent radiographic followup. Tension type stress fractures should be stabilized internally to prevent the adverse consequences of fracture displacement

Meniscoid lesion of the ankle is a well-described condition involving the anterolateral aspect of the ankle joint. To our knowledge, there are no reports of this condition involving the medial aspect of the ankle in the literature. We present the case of a 27-year-old man with a chronic deltoid ligament rupture who had developed anteromedial impingement syndrome of the ankle. The patient was treated with an arthroscopic debridement of the lesion and experienced a complete recovery
