Researchers evaluated literature related to iliotibial band surgery in patients with lateral hip pain. Factors considered were pain, snapping, postoperative pain management, and surgeries, and more than 300 patients in more than 20 studies were considered eligible for inclusion in the evaluation. The literature review revealed that in lateral hip pain with no snapping, limited evidence supports iliotibial band surgery.
