The Iliotibial tract (also known as Maissiat’s band or IT band) and its associated muscles function to extend, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip, as well as aiding in the stabilization of the knee. A select group of associated injuries and pathologies are seen in man due to repetitive stress and direct trauma. The goal of this exhibit is to educate the radiologist about the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and imaging findings of Iliotibial band anatomy and associated pathology. Using a case based format with multimodality imaging examples and illustrations, the radiologist will review Iliotibial band friction syndrome, iliotibial bursitis, external snapping hip syndrome, Morel-Lavallée lesions, iliotibial tears, and avulsion fracture of Gerdy’s tubercle. Clinical management will also be briefly discussed.

-Pictorial and imaging anatomy of the Iliotibial tract -Mechanism of injury and clinical presentation of specific iliotibial tract pathology -Radiological imaging cases with multimodality examples and original pictorial illustrations of all discussed -iliotibial tract pathology -Management of Iliotibial tract injuries and other pathology
