BACKGROUND: Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an overuse injury of the lateral aspect of the knee. This syndrome classically affects the active young population. PURPOSE: To determine the diameter of the ITB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients clinically diagnosed with ITBFS, compare the results with asymptomatic patients, and assess the inter-observer agreement between a senior and a junior radiologist with different levels of experience in musculoskeletal imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From April 2014 to October 2019, 78 knee MRI scans of 78 patients were included in the study group who were referred from the orthopedic clinic with a clinical diagnosis of ITBFS. In the control group, there were 114 knee MRI scans of 114 patients who had knee MRI for various reasons and had no radiological abnormality on the performed knee MRI. The ITB diameters, cut-off values, and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated. RESULTS: Mean thickness of the ITB was higher in the study group compared to the control group in measurements done by both the senior and junior radiologists and this was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Cut-off values of the diameters of the ITB were calculated as 2.385 for the senior radiologist and 2.420 for the junior radiologist. ICC of 0.80 was determined, which showed excellent agreement among interpreters. CONCLUSION: ITB thickness in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group. There was also excellent agreement among the two observers. Measurement of ITB thickness on axial plane knee MRI is one of the reliable criteria for ITBFS.
