[Clinical diagnostic standard of mediopatellar plica syndrome]
1Orthopaedic Department, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730.
Objective:
To increase the level of clinical diagnosis of mediopatellar plica syndrome.
Method:
We reviewed the preoperative clinical symptoms of 67 knee joints that were proved to have pathologic mediopatellar plica by arthroscopy.
Result:
Mediopatellar plica syndrome had the following clinical symptoms: painful knee and mediopatellar tenderness in all patients; tender bands in 56.7% patients; positive test of flexion or extension with internal femoral condyle pressed in 62.7% patients; positive Mcmarry's sign in 31.3% patients.
Conclusion:
The clinical diagnostic standard of mediopatellar plica syndrome is that the first above-mentioned clinical symptom plus one of other three symptoms could suggest the diagnosis, while the first clinical symptom plus two or three of other three symptoms could define the diagnosis.
