Stress Fractures and Running Medicine

Along with physical therapist Jillian Santer, Dr. Rizzone is the co-leader of the URMC RUN team. We offer clinical evaluations and 2D and 3D gait analyses for runners and athletes of running sports and can also benefit mature athletes with knee and hip arthritis. Dr. Rizzone has published many papers on stress fractures (also known as bone stress injuries). She works with runners of all levels and ages to help them safely return to running after injuries and prevent further injury in the future. The URMC RUN team will begin screening high school and collegiate athletes for stress fracture risk factors.
