A stress fracture is a tiny crack on the bone. It usually happens due to an overuse injury of the bone.
It can occur in any bone. Generally, the bones of leg and foot are much prone to this injury as they have to bear the whole weight of the body.
It happens because the muscles surrounding the bones become tired and are unable to absorb the shock leading to fracture or tiny crack.
