Joe Mauer Injury Profile


Special from The Baseball Injury Report

Injury:

Joe Mauer has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in the fibula in his left leg. A stress reaction is a weakening of the bone and can be a precursor to a stress fracture. The injury process typically goes from a silent stress reaction > stress reaction > stress fracture. A stress reaction of the tibia (aka tibial stress reaction) occurs most often in distance runners and is caused by overuse. The vast majority of tibia stress reactions occur in either the top 1/3 of the tibia (closer to the knee) or the bottom third toward the ankle. It can also be involved with cases of shin splints.

Stress reaction injuries to the fibula (the outside bone of the lower leg) are a lot less debilitating because the tibia (the bigger in inner bone of the lower leg) absorbs a large portion of the body’s weight. Since athletic participation on some surfaces can be the cause of the malady, one has to wonder if the hard artificial surface of the Twins home field will impact his recovery early in the season.
