    Shin splints meaning & definition 1 of Shin splints.


  • The term shin splints refers to nonspecific pain that occurs in the lower legs during running sports.
    Repetitive impact forces during jogging, running, or vigorous walking (eg, hiking) can overload the musculotendinous unit and cause shin pain. Such pain sometimes results from a specific injury (eg, tibial stress fracture, exercise-induced compartment syndrome, tibial periostitis, excessive foot pronation), but often an exact cause cannot be identified. In such cases, the term shin splints is used.
