Abstract

Iliotibial band friction syndrome is one of the common cause of lateral knee pain specially seen in people who have intense physical activity like athletes (runners, cyclists, American football players) and also military personnel. Although it is believed to be an overuse syndrome, its exact mechanism of etiology is little known.
In this article MRI findings of a swimmer patient with iliotibial band friction syndrome are presented.
