  • Title: Acute periostitis in early acquired syphilis simulating shin splints in a jogger.
    Author: Meier JL, Mollet E.
    Journal: Am J Sports Med; 1986; 14(4):327-8. PubMed ID: 3728786.
    Abstract:
    Acute periostitis affecting the long bones is a characteristic but uncommon manifestation of syphilis in the adult with an early acquired infection. This report describes the history of a jogger who developed acute localized periostitis of the shaft of both tibiae during the early stage of acquired syphilis. Symptomatology was initially attributed to the medial tibial stress syndrome.
