Synovial Cyst: A Culprit for Recalcitrant Iliotibial Band Syndrome: A Case Report
We present the case of a 56-year old gentleman who presented with recalcitrant iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome which did not improve with various modalities of conservative treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the affected knee did not show pathology typical of ITB friction syndrom...
