Question 1

what is medial tibial stress syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Vague term: This is used to describe a variety of possible underlying conditions such as stress fracture, periostitis, insertional tendonitis, muscle strain, etc.

Question 2

does tibial stress syndrome require shin guard?

Accepted Answer

Mayo clinic website : Recommends the following for medial tibial stress syndrome, commonly known as shin splints:
rest, ice to the effected area, decrease swelling by elevating leg above the heart, wear proper shoes, consider getting arch supports, and take otc pain meds. If your doctor has ordered something else, however, i would follow his or her directions because they know your case well.

Question 3

can you tell me about having a fasciectomy for anterior tibial compartment syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Open muscle sheath: Fasciotomy is done for increased pressure in a muscle compartment. Muscles in the calf are encased in a tough sheath, and if serious swelling occurs, the muscle &amp; nerves can be damaged. Opening the sheath relieves the pressure &amp; is usually done on all 4  compartments of the calf. Often, the open wound requires skin grafting to close.

Question 4

what is the difference between posterier tibial tendon dysfunction and tarsal tunnel syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Tendon vs. Nerve: Pttd is a a tearing and degeneration of the tendon that holds up your arch it  assists in rising up on toes. As it stretches out it can cause an increasing flatfoot deformity and ultimately hindfoot arthritis. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a constriction of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes behind and around the medial ankle. It can cause pain, numbness and weakness of the intrinsic foot muscles.

Question 5

i have superior antero lateral tibial knee pain painful on palpation near insertion of iliotibial band onset after long runs 15k lasts 2 3 days and go?

Accepted Answer

Ilio Tibial band : Syndrome. There are specific stretches you can do to treat this.

Question 6

what is a tibial osteotomy?

Accepted Answer

Realignment of leg: A tibial osteotomy is an open surgery done to change the forces thru a knee. The top of the tibia(shinbone) is cut, the angle changed, and the bone is locked in place. It is typically done to straighten out a knock-knee. Upside is no artificial parts, downside is significant recovery (3-6 mos).

Question 7

i need exercises for a tibial plateau break?

Accepted Answer

Timing is everything: The simple answer is yes. If not operated on, pt with rom and quad strengthening will be initiated once your doctor feels it is stable. Following surgery, pr is frequently started earlier as long as the fracture is stable. Healing time usually is 3 to 4 months.

Question 8

what is the recovery time for an open wedge tibial osteotomy?

Accepted Answer

Healing by 6-8 weeks: Newer osteotomy techniques and implants may allow for earlier weight bearing (in a locked hinged brace) than the historical standard of 6 weeks on crutches. Many are done as true outpatient surgery. Rehabilitation  2x weekly for 3 months is expected. Unlimited (nonimpact aerobic activity) usually OK by 3 months. Discuss your specific rehabilitation with your surgeon.

Question 9

what is the amount of time it take to recover from the removal of a tibial osteochondroma?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on location of osteochondroma.  They are generally located near the knee.  Most time off is due to healing of the wound that can take several weeks.  If it is a pedunculated lesion it will not violate cortex too much and usually can weight bear as tolerated immediately after surgery.  If it is sessile and requires alot of violation of cortex some degree of weight restriction may be requd.

Question 10

what causes tibial hemimelia?

Accepted Answer

It is genetic: Tibial hemimelia syndrome (affects both legs)  is believed to be due to an autosomal dominant gene passed on from one of the parents, while unilateral tibial hemimelia only affects one limb, and is believed to be due to an autosomal recessive gene, passed on by both parents.  It may also be a spontaneous gene mutation, in which neither parent passed on the gene, but it just developed spontaneously.
