The patient is placed in the supine position on the operating table. On the left knee, the curved snap shows the two 1-cm incisions that are made in parallel with the ITB fibers in the distal aspect of the ITB at the lateral femoral epicondyle with a 1-cm bridge between the incisions. Also, proximally and distally 2 similar incisions are made through the quadriceps and patellar tendon, respectively. (ITB, iliotibial band.)
