– The ITB is a thickening of the Deep Fascia (Fascia Latae) of the Thigh; the TFL inserts into this fibrous band tensing it
– Usually presents with pain and/or tenderness on palpation of the lateral aspect of the knee, superior to the joint line and inferior to the lateral femoral epicondyle
– It is considered a non-traumatic overuse injury, often seen in runners, and is often concomitant with underlying weakness of hip abductor muscles

Tendinopathy: is typically used to describe any problem involving a tendon. The tendons can be worn, injured, stretched, and/or torn.
Tendinitis: acute inflammation of the tendon due to small (micro) tears (the suffix “itis” indicates inflammation)
Tendinosis: non-inflammatory degeneration of a tendon from repetitive strain-injuries without adequate time to heal. Sports Health
Patellar Tendinitis . Mayo Clinic
– Patellar tendinitis is an injury to the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone.
– The patellar tendon works with the muscles at the front of your thigh to extend your knee so that you can kick, run and jump.
– Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper’s knee, is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball. However, even people who don’t participate in jumping sports can get patellar tendinitis.
– For most people, treatment of patellar tendinitis begins with physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the knee.

PFPS: A Quick Reference . Educated Physical Therapist
PFPS . Orthoinfo
– PFPS is a broad term used to describe pain in the front of the knee and around the patella, or kneecap
– Called “runner’s knee” or “jumper’s knee” it is common in people who play sports—particularly females and young adults—but PFPS can occur in nonathletes
– The pain and stiffness caused by PFPS can make it difficult to climb stairs, kneel down, and perform other everyday activities
– Many things may contribute to PFPS. Problems with alignment of the kneecap and overuse from vigorous athletics or training are often significant factors
– Symptoms are often relieved with conservative treatment, such as changes in activity levels or a therapeutic exercise program

Knee Arthritis . AAOS
– The cartilage gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases
– This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and produce painful bone spurs
