This study reports a rare case of an arch-type pathologic suprapatellar plica, successfully treated with arthroscopic surgery. The findings are discussed alongside a comprehensive literature review on this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Knee Anatomy

Background:

  • Pathologic suprapatellar plica is a fold in the knee's synovial lining.
  • Arch-type plica is a less common morphological variant.
  • Plica syndrome can cause knee pain and mechanical symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of symptomatic arch type suprapatellar plica was identified.
  • The plica exhibited characteristics necessitating surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Successful arthroscopic excision of the arch type suprapatellar plica was performed.
  • The arthroscopic technique allowed for precise removal of the pathologic plica.

Implications:

  • Arthroscopic excision is a viable and effective treatment for arch type suprapatellar plica.
