Research progress of lower limb muscle strength training in the treatment of lliotibial band syndrome / 中国骨伤

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), as an overused injury of the lower extremities, has developed into a common cause of lateral knee pain. At present, the treatment of ITBS includes drug therapy, muscle strength training, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. Among these methods, physical therapy, drug therapy, and surgical treatment can only alleviate the symptoms of patients. As a safe and effective treatment, lower limb muscle strength training can improve patients' muscle strength, correct abnormal gait, and reduce the recurrence rate of the disease by paying attention to the dynamic changes of patients' recovery process. At present, the pathogenesis of ITBS remains unclear, and the treatment methods are not unified. It is necessary to further study the biomechanical factors related to the lower extremities and develop more scientific and comprehensive muscle strength training methods.

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de un total de 186 artículos publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, Hinari, SciELO y Medline mediante el gestor de búsqueda y administrador de referencias EndNote, de ellos se utilizaron 40 citas seleccionadas para realizar la revisión, 38 de los últimos cinco años. Desarrollo: Se mencionan las características anatómicas más importantes relacionadas con la banda iliotibial. Se refiere a las maniobras empleadas, así como los exámenes imagenológicos de mayor utilidad. Se exponen las principales entidades implicadas en el diagnóstico diferencial. Con relación al tratamiento se mencionan las modalidades conservadoras y quirúrgicas. Conclusiones: El síndrome de la banda iliotibial es una enfermedad que tiene como característica fundamental dolor lateral de la rodilla el cual aumenta con la actividad física. El tratamiento conservador constituye la primera línea y el quirúrgico está justificado a los seis meses de respuesta limitada a la primera modalidad del enfrentamiento terapéutico(AU)

Introduction: Knee pain responds to multiple causes such as the iliotibial band syndrome that mainly affects young patients who practice certain sports activities. Objective: To update and offer information on iliotibial band syndrome. Methods: The search and analysis of the information was carried out in a period of 92 days - from July 1 to September 30, 2020, with the words iliotibial band syndrome, iliotibial band friction syndrome AND lateral knee pain. A bibliographic review of 186 articles published in PubMed, Hinari, SciELO and Medline databases was carried out using the EndNote search manager and reference manager, Forty citations were selected to perform the review, 38 of them were from the last five years. Development: The most important anatomical characteristics related to the iliotibial band are mentioned. They refer to the maneuvers used, as well as the most useful imaging tests. The main entities involved in the differential diagnosis are presented. Regarding treatment, conservative and surgical modalities are mentioned. Conclusions: The iliotibial band syndrome is a disease, main characterized by lateral knee pain, which increases with physical activity. Conservative treatment constitutes the first option; in addition, surgical treatment is justified after six months of limited response to the first option of therapeutic management(AU)

Clinical diagnosis and treatment for iliotibial band syndrome / 中国骨伤

As an usually occurs in athletes, iliotibial band syndrome is payed more attention for people, the disease is diagnosed mainly by clinical symptoms, physical examination and MRI, but there is no uniform diagnostic criteria. The pathogenesis of iliotibial band syndrome is considered to be related to pressure and friction factors. As for the treatment, manipulation, muscle exercise, mainly drugs and physical therapy and so on both at home and abroad are recognized to use to achieve desired effect. For conservative failure, refractory iliotibial band syndrome patients, arthroscopy, or release of iliotibial band syndrome surgery are performed. While conservative local drug injection combined with muscle exercise could play a role in pain management besides, arthroscopic as operation method is more advanced, and applicable to all types of patients without absolute contraindication, so it is helpful for patients with early activity. At present, there is still a great deal of controversy about its pathogenesis, and there is no obvious limit for the specific indications of its various therapies in clinic, so it needs further specification.

Synovial Cyst: A Culprit for Recalcitrant Iliotibial Band Syndrome: A Case Report

We present the case of a 56-year old gentleman who presented with recalcitrant iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome which did not improve with various modalities of conservative treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the affected knee did not show pathology typical of ITB friction syndrome. However, open exploration revealed a synovial cyst deep to the iliotibial band, abutting against the anterolateral capsule. The presence of distinctive clinical signs on physical examination should alert clinicians to consider knee synovial cyst as a differential diagnosis when dealing with recalcitrant ITB syndrome.

Proximal iliotibial band syndrome: case report / Sindrome da banda iliotibial proximal: relato de caso

OBJECTIVE: The overuse injuries in the hip joint occur commonly in sports practitioners and currently due to technical advances in diagnostic imaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are often misdiagnosed. Recently, a group of people were reported, all female, with pain and swelling in the pelvic region.T2-weighted MRI showed increased signal in the enthesis of the iliotibial band (ITB) along the lower border of the iliac tubercle. We report a case of a 34 year old woman, non-professional runner, with pain at the iliac crest with no history of trauma and whose MRI was compatible with the proximal iliotibial band syndrome. .

As lesões por sobrecarga na articulação do quadril ocorrem comumente em praticantes de esporte e atualmente, por causa do avanço das técnicas de diagnóstico por imagem, especialmente a ressonância magnética (RM), são frequentemente diagnosticadas. Recentemente, foi estudado um grupo de pacientes, todos do sexo feminino, com quadro de dor e edema na região do tubérculo ilíaco. A RM ponderada em T2 demonstrava aumento de sinal na êntese da banda iliotibial (BIT) ao longo da margem inferior do tubérculo ilíaco. Relatamos um caso de uma mulher de 34 anos, corredora não profissional, com quadro de dor na crista ilíaca sem história de trauma e cuja RM era compatível com a síndrome da banda iliotibial proximal. .

Diagnosis of Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome and Ultrasound Guided Steroid Injection

A 64-year-old woman visited our pain clinic with the pain of right lateral side of thigh for one year. Her pain always started from knee and was radiated to buttock area when symptom was severe. She showed significant tenderness at knee lateral side and local tightness at lateral thigh. Magnetic resonance image of the knee was performed and we could identify high signal intensity of iliotibial band through coronal and axial view. In spite of medication and physical stretching exercise of iliotibial band for one month, she did not show any improvement of pain. To alleviate her symptom, ultrasound guided local corticosteroid injection targeting beneath the iliotibial band was performed. After the procedure, the reduction of pain was significant and there was no need for further management.
