General Surgery. A general surgeon is a specialist who is trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with a broad spectrum of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body.
Ankle pain is the most common symptom associated with an ankle stress fracture. Sensations of pain typically arise gradually over time and may be more severe when weight is placed on the injured ankle, reports the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Tibia Stress Fracture The tibia is the larger of the two shin bones and as a weight bearing bone is more susceptible to stress fractures, particularly in the lower third. We explain the symptoms, causes and treatment of a stress fracture in the tibia. Symptoms Symptoms of a tibial stress fracture include pain, usually on the lower third of the tibia that occurs after running long distances. There will be tenderness and possibly swelling over the site of the fracture as well as pain when you press into the shin. An X ray of the injured leg will often not show any sign of a fracture.
