69: Load-Induced Medial-Leg Pain: Renaming MTSS for Clarity
from Listen, Learn, Adapt · host Anthony Novello
This episode dissects an editorial that argues that medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) requires a name change due to issues with the current terminology. The authors contend that the term MTSS is confusing for athletes and coaches because "tibial stress" is often misinterpreted as a bone stress injury, despite inconclusive evidence regarding the condition's underlying pathology.
