Shin Splints, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (#shinsplints)

One of the residents and I teamed up to write about Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, or “Shin Splints” or bone stress injury of the tibia.  Bottom line, it’s all about “too much, too fast, too soon” but we add the new evidence of MTSS, its diagnosis and evidence based treatment.  Unfortunately there’s not much out there but we suggest rest, optimizing vitamin D and gradual return to play once pain free.  Consider gait retraining too, if all else fails.
