What might cause shin pain after injury to the top of the foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anterior Tibialis: Tendonitis could be a direct result of an injury to the top of the foot. The tib ant as it is often called starts out on the lateral leg or shin and courses down your leg and spreads out on the top of your foot. It is the main muscle/tendon involved in raising (dorsiflexing) your foot. If you injure the top of your foot you cna injure that tendon as well and it will not function well and hurt.
