Italian term or phrase: fratture da durata
Si tratta di un elenco di malattie e patologie ortopediche e di traumatologia, perciò non ho contesto.
Nell'elenco c'è "fratture da durata" che è l'unica voce assente nel mio dizionario medico.
La prima soluzione che mi viene in mente è "duration fractures" di cui ho trovato anche riscontri su google...ma vorrei averne la certezza.
Grazie!

English translation:stress fractures ??
Explanation:
Ciao Valentina,
Dalla spiegazione che hai fornito, mi sembra che parlino di "stress fractures", ovvero, fratture provocate da ripetuti microtraumi.
Vedi la definizione in queste pagine:
http://www.orthopaedics.iu.edu/orthoterms.htm
http://www.footlaw.com/glossary/

In particolare, la seconda pagina specifica la seguente:
Fracture: A fracture is a break in a bone. Fractures are divided into Traumatic Fractures (those fractures that occur as a result of an injury) and Stress Fracture (those fractures that occur as a result of repeated micro-trauma).
HTH,
Amy
