Core Tip	Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is an overuse injury characterised by diffuse tibial anteromedial or posteromedial surface subcutaneous periostitis, usually in conjunction with underlying cortical bone microtrauma. Nuclear bone scans or magnetic resonance imaging findings need to be considered in conjunction with clinical symptoms and patient history for an accurate diagnosis. Compared to exercising controls, MTSS patients have low bone mineral density and low values of a number of tibial cortical bone geometric parameters such a cross-sectional area. Recent research includes the development of computational models for studying tibial stress injuries. These models offer a tool to study the exact causes of MTSS, which are still unknown.
