Article Synopsis
- Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is prevalent among Armed Forces personnel, with a study analyzing data from over 20,000 cases between 2010 and 2018 to determine its impacts and healthcare use.
- The study found that while the overall prevalence of MTSS decreased from 2.19% to 1.61%, it was notably higher among recruits, especially female recruits at 7.03% in 2018.
- The findings suggest that although the overall occurrence of MTSS has declined, there are significant disparities in healthcare engagement across different service branches, with royal marines having the least and royal air force having the most healthcare contact.
