摘要：

We describe two cases of spontaneous fracture at the tibial metaphysis not diagnosed by standard X-ray. In both cases, only magnetic resonance imaging supplied a precise diagnosis and allowed us to follow the evolution of the pathology. Scintigraphy is equally sensitive but unspecific. Osteoporosis was noted in all cases. Hypothetically, similar pathological situations could be present without being diagnosed since they are not always detected by standard X-rays.
