Best Practice Case Studies-Distal Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Allison Schrader, an assistant professor, presents a case of a 39-year-old female with distal iliotibial band syndrome, experiencing right knee pain post-pregnancy. The pain was exacerbated by exercise and localized to the anterior lateral knee. Examination showed tenderness at Gertie's tubercle and positive OBERS and NOBLS tests. Ultrasound revealed thickening of the iliotibial band with Doppler flow indicating irritation. Further assessment found a Gaudi flare, leading to a corticosteroid injection after physical therapy failed to improve symptoms. The injection successfully alleviated the patient's condition.
