Shin Splints
Diagnosis of Shin Splints
Usually clinical On examination, severe localized tenderness is usually present over the anterior compartment muscles, and sometimes there is palpable bone pain. X-ray findings are usually unremarkable, regardless of the cause. If a stress fracture is suspected, a bone scan may be necessary. Exercise-induced compartment syndrome is diagnosed by using a specialized manometer to document increased intra-compartmental pressure during exercise.
