Structures involved in the injury

The structures that are involved in this injury are the iliotibial band, the femur, and the tibia.

Mechanisms of injury

The reason for this injury is excessive friction between your iliotibial band and your knee cap. This can be caused by excessive running or a sudden increase in physical activity. This injury is often associated with wieghtlifting and court sports, like tennis and racquet ball, because of the rapid abduction and adduction of the lower leg that occurs in these activities.
