Shin Splints vs. Stress Fracture  

MTSS (Shin Splints) Vs Stress Fracture: How to Differentiate!
Anterior tibia = more likely stress fracture not MTSS
Fulcrum test positive = more likely stress fracture than MTSS
Pain on ANY weight bearing = more likely stress fracture as MTSS more likely to be linked to more intense activity
Night pain = stress fracture (or other pathology but not MTSS)
