Popping: The tensor fascia latter muscle and it's tendon the iliotibial band or i t band travels from the hip to the outside of the knee. The i t band crosses the hips greater trochanter. In conditions where there is tendinitis or edema of the i t band or bursitis of the greater trochanter or both, the it band as it crosses the greater trochanter while walking can make a popping sound.
