<p>I would like to know how to say "shin splints" in Chinese.  Shin splints are a fairly common injury for runners.</p>

<p>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 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints" rel="noreferrer">Wikipedia article here</a>).</p>

<p>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.</p>

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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints)).
