| Bilateral Anterior Tibial Pain in a Football Player1 | ||
| A twenty-one-year-old male college football player related a five-year history of recurrent pain in both shins. The pain had worsened during the early part of the football season, when practices were held twice a day. Typically, the pain was most severe when the patient began running but would subside within a few minutes and then return on resumption of weight-bearing activity. | ||
| Clinical examination revealed moderate tenderness extending for a distance of 12 cm along the medial border of the distal and middle thirds of the right tibia, and mild tenderness in the corresponding area of the left tibia. | ||
| Radiographs had been made at regular intervals during the five years, and all had revealed normal findings. |
| What study(ies) would you order to arrive at a diagnosis? | ||
