The purpose of the current review is to highlight the structure‐function relationship of
tendons and related structures to provide an overview for readers whose interest in tendons …

Although fasciae have long interested clinicians in a multitude of different clinical and
paramedical disciplines, there have been few attempts to unite the ensuing diverse literature …

Abstract In 1879, the French surgeon Segond described the existence of a 'pearly, resistant,
fibrous band'at the anterolateral aspect of the human knee, attached to the eponymous …

Background: Anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) may result from combined anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral extra-articular lesions, but the roles of the anterolateral …

Background: Recent anatomic investigations of the lateral structures of the knee have
identified a new ligament, called the anterolateral ligament (ALL). To date, the anterolateral …

Purpose The functional anatomy of the knee is frequently studied but remains incompletely
understood. Numerous authors have described a structure in the lateral knee connecting the …

BACKGROUND: Iliotibial band syndrome is the leading cause of lateral knee pain in
runners. Despite its high prevalence, little is known about the biomechanics that lead to this …

Study Design: Cross-sectional experimental laboratory study. Objective: To examine
differences in running mechanics between runners who had previously sustained iliotibial …

The iliotibial tract, also known as Maissiat's band or the iliotibial band, and its associated
muscles function to extend, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip, as well as aid in the …

The development of a pronounced iliotibial band (ITB) is an anatomically distinct evolution of
humans. The mechanical behaviour of this “new” structure is still poorly understood and …
