A
Hip pointer
B
Snapping hip
C
Femur stress fracture
D
Piriformis syndrome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is a thick, tight band of fascia and muscle. It passes over the thigh bone (femur) at a prominence called the greater trochanter.

Detailed explanation-2: -[7] The iliotibial band is involved in hip stabilisation during single leg stance and ambulation when the band acts as a tendon of the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and the gluteus maximus. The contraction of the gluteus maximus and the TFL muscles cause tightening of the band.

Detailed explanation-3: -Iliotibial band syndrome is where a tendon called the iliotibial band gets irritated or swollen from rubbing against your hip or knee bones. The tendon is on the outside of your leg, and it goes from the top of your pelvic bone down to your knee. It rubs against your bones when it gets too tense (tight).
