Strain release assessment of the iliotibial band (ITB) when using a pie-crusting technique: a preliminary ex vivo study
Résumé
Possible lack of length or over-stiffness of soft tissues may explain some musculo-skeletal disorders. Certain extra length of soft tissues can be recovered by releasing some strain with pie-crusting technique. This technique can be applied to the tendons (Burge et al., 2014), the ligaments (He et al., 2018), or the fascias (C?atal et al., 2019). It is widely used when patients having a too short and too stiff iliotibial band (ITB), suffer from unstable knee, joint line elevation, etc. For example, in valgus knees, ITB is tensed on the lateral side and the main technique used to correct valgus deformity is to perform a pie-crusting technique to release the ITB. However, soft tissue releasing using the pie-crusting technique is challenging as too extensive releases may lead to complications. The aim of this preliminary study is to assess the level of strain release of the ITB using pie-crusting technique in view of assessing quantitatively the impact of this surgery on the strain release.
