Abstract
A case with stress fracture of the body of the pubic bone which occurred in a 35-year-old pregnant woman is described. No underlying pathologic process was found and it would seem that the mechanical load acting on the pubic bone to cause stress fracture is brought about by both the muscle imbalance and ligament laxity. In a few weeks after delivery, the fracture showed a complete bony union.Entities:
