	Iliotibial Band Syndrome
		Iliotibial band syndrome is an overuse inflammatory condition due to friction (rubbing) of a band of a tendon over the outer bone (lateral condyle) of the knee.
		Although iliotibial band syndrome may be caused by direct injury to the knee, it is most often caused by the stress of long-term overuse, such as sometimes occurs in sports training.
		In rare cases when the syndrome doesn't disappear, surgery may be necessary to split the tendon so it is not stretched too tightly over the bone.

		Iliotibial band; band syndrome is a common knee injury that usually presents as lateral knee pain caused by inflammation of the distal portion of the iliotibial occasionally, however, the iliotibial band becomes inflamed at its proximal origin and causes referred hip pain.
		Iliotibial band syndrome is caused by excessive friction of the distal iliotibial band as it slides over the lateral femoral epicondyle during repetitive flexion and extension of the knee resulting in friction and potential irritation.

		The syndrome is often labelled an 'overuse' injury, but that's a very poor way to describe the origin of the problem, since it implies that the main source of difficulty is excess mileage.
		The key source of iliotibial band syndrome disorders is actually a lack of strength and flexibility in the iliotibial band, sometimes combined with a perverse fondness for running either on the track or on crowned roads, as you'll see in a moment.
		The real function of the iliotibial band during running is not to flap the leg outward but to control and decelerate adduction of the upper part of the leg.

		The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick band of tissue that extends down the outside of the thigh from the ilium bone at the pelvis, over the knee to the tibia bone of the lower leg.
		The primary function of the iliotibial band is to provide static stability to the lateral aspect of the knee.
