Bang on the shin

Bang on the shin

We’ve all experienced the pain of trauma to the shin. Most incidences result in minor injuries but some occurrences can be disastrous.

The link below is to a very comprehensive article by Gohil and colleagues, published in the British Journal of Hospital Medicine 2022. They describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical assessment, management and prevention of pre-tibial trauma – including lacerations and haematoma.

The Dunkin classification for management of pretibial lacerations was news to me. This and indeed the whole article is thought provoking.
