[Indexed for MEDLINE] 18. Curr Sports Med Rep. 2024 Nov 1;23(11):369-375. doi: 10.1249/JSR.0000000000001205. Exertional Leg Pain in Athletes. Stokes DC(1), Mervis MJ(2), Cushman DM. Author information: (1)Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT. (2)University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT. Exertional leg pain is a relatively common condition that can negatively impact athletic performance and may pose a diagnostic and management challenge for the sports medicine physician. A comprehensive clinical evaluation is important to narrow the broad differential associated with exertional leg pain and focus the selection of the most appropriate diagnostic tests and treatment modalities in the care of these individuals. This article will provide an update on recent literature regarding the etiologies, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, workup/diagnosis, and treatment of exertional leg pain in athletes with a focus on vascular etiologies, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, and bone stress injury.
