Endurecimiento de la espinilla


Explanation:
No se si esta hablando de el efecto benefico de correr o de algun trauma. "Splint" quiere decir "Material rigido para inmovilizar las partes de un cuerpo fracturado", no es un verbo.
Espero que te sriva.

neutral  Pablo Fdez. Moriano: splint por sí solo es "férula", para inmovilizar; pero sin splints es una traumatología

formación de huesecillo en la espinilla


Explanation:
Terminología médica y/o veterinaria difícil de traducir. shin= parte de la pierna denominada espinilla. splints=formaciones de pequeños huesos en la parte interior de la pierna o en espinilla

VETERINARY MEDICINE enlargement of horse's leg bone: a condition that occurs in young horses, consisting of painful bony outgrowths in or near the splint bones on the inner sides of the legs

Según todo esto yo traduciría: formación de huesecillos en la parte interior de la pierna

Saludos

periostitis tibial


Explanation:
splint: lo conozco como férula, pero no sirve para este contexto. Puede ser inflamación del tejido óseo por estrés.

calambres en la espinilla


Explanation:
Cuando tuve que hacer una traducción de lesiones en corredores, el propio texto y otros manuales decían que "shin splints" no era nada concreto, ya que se refería a un dolor en la espinilla que podía estar causado por varias razones. Por eso, el diccionario médico bilingüe daba "calambres en la espinilla" como traducción genérica. Periostitis también me parece bien, porque normalmente se trata de una inflamación del periostio, lo que recubre los huesos.

Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

agree  Abel Badillo: Me parece que el contexto no es tecnico asi que creo que esta es tu mejor opcion

  -> I'm not a doctor, though.
neutral  MJ Barber: not really calambres though, is it? It is pain and discomfort, but not cramp. Calambre is more like muscular contraction

Dolor por inflamación de los músculos / tendones de la pantorrilla


Explanation:
Hola :-)
No hay un término equivalente en castellano. Es un dolor o hipersensibilidad que se produce en la pierna al forzar los músculos, de forma que por la tracción se inflaman y están sensibles, dando lugas a dolores o molestias mal definidos, que van y viene. Muchas veces se usa el término en inglés, pero puedes traducirlo como he dicho o algo equivalente.


Te envío unas refernecias:

"Shin Splints: Dolor en cualquier lado del hueso de la pierna, causado por la inflamación del músculo o del tendón. Esta relacionado con excessive foot pronation (collapsing arch), pero puede estar relacionado con el imbalance del músculo entre ambas piernas. " (1ª ref)


"Shin splints:
Definition: Inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the front of the lower leg. " (2ª ref)

"Shin Splints
Pain along the leg bone or shin is frequently described as shin splints.
The large leg bone or tibia has several tendon attachments to it and many overuse type activities, such as running and other forms of exercise, will over stress the attachments of these tendons. Patient complaints are extremely variable from "sometimes it hurts so bad I can't walk" to "the pain sort of comes and goes and usually I can tolerate the discomfort."

HTH :-)

Un saludo.
