Abstract
It was hypothesized that shinsplints are the result of muscle inflammation induced by overuse; thus, as an inflammatory response, the application of an antiinflammatory medication to the involved muscles would eliminate the pain of shinsplints. The application of hydrocortisone by iontophoresis was effective in the elimination of shinsplint pain in 18 cases of shinsplints involving four male and eight female athletes.
