Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal injuries are linked to physical activity levels.
  • Higher training or sport exposure correlates with increased injury risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the common causes of chronic exertional leg pain in the general population.
  • To provide diagnostic guidance for exertional leg pain.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common exertional leg pain causes.
  • Development of a diagnostic algorithm.

Main Results:

  • Common causes include muscle injury, medial tibial stress syndrome, and stress fractures.
  • Nerve entrapments and chronic exertional compartment syndromes are also discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding these conditions is crucial for managing exertional leg pain.
  • A diagnostic algorithm can aid clinicians in identifying the cause of leg pain.
