Diagnoses in this category included specific overuse injuries (ie, iliotibial band syndrome (leg), patellar tendinitis (knee), chondromalacia (knee), and plantar fascial fibromatosis (foot), but the largest portion (>90%) were for nonspecific pain syndromes to specific anatomical sites such as "pain in knee," pain in back," etc.
