ObjectivesArthroscopic treatment is indicated for external snapping hip (ESH) syndrome in patients refractory to conservative treatment, but snapping does not disappear completely in some case. No previous studies have described the clinical course of ESH syndrome in patients who presented with persistent snapping after an arthroscopic procedure. We demonstrated the clinical ou...

Modified Reconstruction of The Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Using Iliotibial Band: A Case Report

Introduction: Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint is a rare condition and may present with an atypical presentation due to its location and symptoms. Recent techniques and graft has allowed to repair tibiofibular joint. Iliotibial band autograft might be used as a choice for this case as its characteristic, cost effectiveness, minimal invasive graft harvesting proced...

Background: Previous work on adult specimens have demonstrated some differential thickness of the iliotibial band (ITB) tissue in different areas. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to quantitatively and qualitatively describe the relevant surgical anatomy of the ITB, at the level of the knee, in pediatric cadaveric specimens in which either an iliotibial band tenodesis...

Iliotibial band tension reduces patellar lateral stability

Journal of Orthopaedic Research | 2009 | Azhar M. Merican, Farhad Iranpour, Andrew A. Amis

AbstractThis study investigated the effect of loading the iliotibial band (ITB) on the stability of the patellofemoral joint. We measured the restraining force required to displace the patella 10 mm medially and laterally (defined as medial and lateral stability, respectively) in 14 fresh‐frozen knees from 0 to 90° knee flexion. The testing rig allowed the patella to rotate and...

The functional anatomy of the iliotibial band during flexion and extension of the knee: implications for understanding iliotibial band syndrome

Journal of Anatomy | 2006 | John Fairclough, Koji Hayashi, Hechmi Toumi, Kathleen Lyons

AbstractIliotibial band (ITB) syndrome is a common overuse injury in runners and cyclists. It is regarded as a friction syndrome where the ITB rubs against (and ‘rolls over’) the lateral femoral epicondyle. Here, we re‐evaluate the clinical anatomy of the region to challenge the view that the ITB moves antero‐posteriorly over the epicondyle. Gross anatomical and microscopical s...
