The iliotibial band runs along the lateral thigh crossing the hip and knee. It provides stability and limits hip abduction and knee internal rotation. The band runs right over the lateral epicondyle of the femur and when it is tight or inflamed, can sometimes press into and rub against the epicondyle causing lateral knee pain. This is most seen in runners, and is known as an overuse injury, that happens over a period of time, becoming iliotibial band syndrome, or ITBS. Two articles were found
