A Patient's Guide to Shin Splints
NIH - Shin splints (Medical Encyclopedia) “Tibial shin splints are very common and affect both recreational and trained athletes. Runners are often affected. There are two types, tibial periostitis and posterior tibial shin splints. In tibial periostitis the bone itself is tender. Anterior compartment syndrome affects the outer side of the front of the leg. Stress fractures usually produce localized, sharp pain with tenderness 1 or 2 inches below the knee. A stress fracture is likely to occur 2 or 3 weeks into a new training program or after beginning a harder training program.“
Shin Splints - Understanding what causes shin splints
Shin splints (Periostitis) “Shin splints is the general name given to pain at the front of the lower leg. Shin splints is not a diagnosis in itself but a description of symptoms of which there could be a number of causes. The most common cause is inflammation of the periostium of the tibia (sheath surrounding the bone). Traction forces occur from the muscles of the lower leg on the periostium causing shin pain and inflammation.”
