Abstract

This case report describes two athletes in which biphosphanates were started for medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). The treatment with biphosphanates has never been described for MTSS before. 70 and 77 days after initiation of the biphosphanates the athletes trained again at their preinjury level. Compared to the rehabilitation of MTSS described in the literature, this new treatment for MTSS seems promising. A larger prospective case series is needed.
