long time reader, first time poster.
I have a question related to a 19yo male that i recently saw. I will also preface this by saying i am not a podiatrist, i'm a physio.
he presented with MTSS from playing rugby. he was treated with manual therapy and NSAIDS etc and referred for orthotics, after several weeks of rest and treatment he began training again and the shin pain returned. bone scan showed bilateral tib stress fractures. several weeks later a sports GP sent him for compartment syndrome testing - positive both sides. i haven't seen the report so i don't know the numbers or which compartments, but his surgery is booked next week.
My question is this, is there a correlation between the compartment syndrome and the MTSS/stress fracture?. reading the other posts i see the MTSS - stress fracture connection but should everyone that presents with shin pain be cleared for compartment syndrome or is this guy just unlucky?
thanks - AJ
