Summary

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common knee injury that usually presents with pain and/or tenderness on palpation of the lateral aspect of the knee, superior to the joint line and inferior to the lateral femoral epicondyle. The current theory is that this condition is likely to be caused by compression of the innervated tissues beneath the iliotibial band (ITB), leading to inflammation.

Conditions

  • Tibial Muscular Dystrophy
