Abstract
ABSTRACT Hip pain is a common concern among athletes. With gluteal tendinopathy, femoroacetabular impingement, and osteoarthritis predominating sports medicine and musculoskeletal practices, less common etiologies may be overlooked. Complex pelvic anatomy and variable pain referral patterns may make identifying an accurate diagnosis challenging. Employing a systematic approach to evaluation and having a thorough understanding of hip region anatomy are essential. A potentially overlooked cause of anterolateral hip pain is iliotibial band origin tendinopathy. Patients often present with pain around the anterolateral hip and tenderness to palpation at the anterolateral iliac crest. While patients with iliotibial band origin tendinopathy usually respond to nonsurgical intervention, there is little literature to guide evaluation and treatment, highlighting a gap in the recognition of this condition. The purpose of this narrative review is to describe the anatomy of the proximal iliotibial band origin, outline the clinical diagnosis and imaging findings of ITBOT, and summarize current treatment options.
