How to say "shin splints" in Chinese? I would like to know how to say "shin splints" in Chinese.  Shin splints are a fairly common injury for runners.

Please note that shin splints are NOT splints that you put on your shin but rather a pain that occurs along the inner edge of the shin bone (Wikipedia article here).

I tried looking up "shin splints", "splints", and "splint" on my Android Pleco app but all I got for definitions was "splint" meaning the same thing as a "cast", or something you put your limb in to support it during recovery.
Well looks like you should invest in new (Pleco) dictionaries:


  外胫夹 -Zhongshan Medical


&amp;


  [用作单数] 【病理学】 (田径运动员等患的) 外胫炎,外胫酸痛 [1940∼1945] -21 Century


Baidu also returns the following:


  胫前疼痛/外胫夹(Shin splints)


I would go with 外胫夹
