Overuse Injuries to the Knee in Runners

Abstract

AbstractIn brief: Overuse injuries of the knee are becoming more common because there are more runners and they are running more often and farther. The authors describe the different kinds of overuse injuries of the knee, including iliotibial band syndrome, popliteal tendinitis, jumper's knee, and others. They also describe treatment for 329 patients with knee injuries over an 11-month period.
