“…The most common symptoms associated with plica include anterior knee pain as well as swelling, giving way, clicking, catching, locking, or pseudolocking of the knee [12, 18]. The symptoms are thought to be due to the plica ‘bowstringing’ across the femoral condyle during flexion [11].…”

“…A tight lateral retinaculum may worsen medial plica contact by providing a lateral restraint/pull to the plica throughout knee range of motion. Other authors have associated pathologic medial plica formation with lateral patellofemoral tilt or tracking [1, 14, 37, 38].…”

“…48,49 Mediopatellar plica and suprapatellar plica cause symptoms occasionally. 24,50 Although it is generally agreed that the infrapatellar plica does not cause symptoms, 17,24,50 we have experiences with pathologic infrapatellar plica with limitation in knee extension in three cases. 51,52 On the physical examinations, these patients revealed flexion contractures of 20 to 25 degrees and atrophy of the thigh musculature.…”

“…Blunt trauma, localized hemorrhage, and joint laxity can create symptomatic synovial plica. 23,24 Whatever the reason, as a result, the synovium loses its elasticity, thickens, and becomes inflammatory. This inflammatory process eventually causes fibrosis of the synovial plica followed by serious intra-articular disturbances.…”
