Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), [1] soleus syndrome, [2] tibial stress syndrome, [2] periostitis [2] Red area represents the tibia. Pain is generally in the inner and lower 2/3rds of tibia. Specialty: Sports medicine: Symptoms: Pain along the inside edge of the shinbone [1] Complications: Stress fracture [2] Risk factors: Runners, dancers ...
Stress fractures can be described as small cracks in the bone, or hairline fractures. Stress fractures of the foot are sometimes called "march fractures" because of the injury's prevalence among heavily marching soldiers. [2] Stress fractures most frequently occur in weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities, such as the tibia and fibula ...
A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. [18]
Tibial plateau fracture; Other names: Fractures of the tibial plateau: A severe tibial plateau fracture with an associated fibular head fracture: Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Pain, swelling, decreased ability to move the knee [1] Complications: Injury to the artery or nerve, compartment syndrome [1] Types: Type I to Type VI [2] Causes
Tibia shaft fracture is a fracture of the proximal (upper) third of the tibia (lower leg bone). Due to the location of the tibia on the shin, it is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body. Due to the location of the tibia on the shin, it is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body.
Fibular and tibial stress fracture: Non-displaced microscopic fracture of the fibular and tibia occurs in many athletes, especially runners, and also in non-athletes who suddenly increase their activity level. [18] Fascial defects: The protrusion of the muscle through the surrounding fascia leads to pain and swelling of the area. [19]
Similar conditions include stress fractures and tendinitis. [1] Treatment may include physical therapy or, if that fails, surgery. [1] ACS occurs in about 1-10% of those with a tibial shaft fracture.> [6] It is more common in males and those under 35, due to trauma. [3] [12] German surgeon Richard von Volkmann first described compartment ...
A compartment space is anatomically determined by an unyielding fascial (and osseous) enclosure of the muscles.The anterior compartment syndrome of the lower leg (often referred to simply as anterior compartment syndrome), can affect any and all four muscles of that compartment: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius.
