Shin splints is an inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bont tissue around the medial tibia. It typically develops after vigorous sports activity. They are often associated with running. Flat feet or improper footwear also contribute to shin splints.
This is a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Causes are a fracture, crush injuries, constricting bandages, a badly bruised muscle, steroid use.
Treatment: A surgical emergency for acute compartment syndrome
High Grade Ankle Sprain
It affects the distal tibiofibular ligaments and it occurs due to sudden external rotation of the ankle.
Treatment: Non-weight bearing CAM boot or cast, syndesmosis fixation with suture button or screw fixation.
