Background: Recent biomechanical studies have demonstrated that the Kaplan fibers (KFs)
of the iliotibial band play a role in the control of anterolateral rotation of the knee. However …

Background: The Kaplan fibers (KFs) of the iliotibial band have been suggested to play a
role in anterolateral rotational instability of the knee, particularly in the setting of an anterior …

Background: Biomechanical studies have suggested that the Kaplan fibers (KFs) of the
iliotibial band play a role in controlling anterolateral rotation of the knee. There is a paucity of …

Background: Kaplan fibers are distinct deep layers of the distal iliotibial band (ITB) that
anchor the ITB to the distal femur and have a role in rotational stability of the knee. However …

Background: Biomechanical cadaveric studies have shown that Kaplan fibers (KFs) of the
iliotibial band play a role in controlling anterolateral rotatory knee laxity in anterior cruciate …

Background: Injuries to the Kaplan fiber complex (KFC) are not routinely assessed for in the
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee during preoperative magnetic resonance …

Objective To delineate the spectrum of knee injuries associated with sprains and tears of the
distal iliotibial band (ITB). Materials and methods A retrospective review of 200 random MRI …

Background: The qualitative anatomy of the distal iliotibial band (ITB) has previously been
described. However, a comprehensive characterization of the quantitative anatomic …

Background: In current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee, injuries to the
anterolateral ligament complex (ALC) and the Kaplan fibers (KFs) are not routinely …

Purpose There has been a continued effort to better understand the role Kaplan fiber injury
plays in persistent instability following ACL tears. However, the prevalence of these injuries …
