Selective Iliotibial Band Release for Iliotibial Band Traction Syndrome After Second-Generation Motion-Guided Bicruciate Stabilizing Total Knee Arthroplasty and Its Rationale: A Case Report With Review of Literature

Iliotibial band traction syndrome (ITBTS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been well documented following first-generation guided motion bicruciate substituting (BCS) TKA. The incidence of ITBTS following second-generation BCS has been found to be rare, and surgical release of the IT band has...

Sumario:Iliotibial band traction syndrome (ITBTS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been well documented following first-generation guided motion bicruciate substituting (BCS) TKA. The incidence of ITBTS following second-generation BCS has been found to be rare, and surgical release of the IT band has not been reported. A 64-year old male was diagnosed with ITBTS following second-generation guided motion BCS TKA. After a three-month trial of non-surgical treatment, he underwent selective open release of the iliotibial band (ITB), which successfully relieved his symptoms. Orthopedic surgeons should keep ITBTS as a possible differential diagnosis when evaluating the lateral-sided knee pain following guided motion BCS TKA.
