If the ITB is too tight, the repetitive knee flexion associated with sports may lead to compression of the vascularized fat pad in the sub-ITB space or development of sub-ITB adventitious bursitis as the band crosses over the lateral femoral epicondyle and the ITB itself is normal. Distal ITB syndrome usually responds to conservative treatment. The presence of any underlying causes, for example, exostosis at the sub-ITB space, should be explored in recalcitrant cases of distal ITB syndrome. Although open surgical excision is the treatment of choice for extra-articular exostosis, the surgical risk and complication rates have been reported as high as 13%. Endoscopic resection of extra-articular exostosis has been proposed to reduce the complication rates.

Ultrasonography represents a noninvasive, rapid, and cost-effective method for assessing knee injuries. This Technical Note presents stress ultrasonography protocols for evaluating medial and lateral tibiofemoral openings in patients with posteromedial corner and/or posterolateral corner injuries. The ultrasonography examination parameters are detailed for both the medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament evaluation.
