Isolated fibular stress fractures: Radiographic parameters

•Fibular stress fractures are an uncommon phenomenon with few well defined risk factors.•This study found that distal fibular stress fractures are the most common location and most common in women.•Distal fibular stress fractures are more common in hindfoot valgus alignment. This could be due to a greater amount of axial force through the lateral distal tibia and fibula during ambulation.
