    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Chiropractic

    Background:

    • Plicae are synovial remnants in the knee, often causing intermittent anterior knee pain.
    • Trauma or internal derangement can lead to thickened, inelastic plicae, mimicking meniscal tears.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current knowledge on plicae anatomy, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics.
    • To increase chiropractors' awareness of synovial plicae syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and summary of existing knowledge on synovial plicae syndrome.

    Main Results:

    • Plicae syndrome presents with specific signs, symptoms, and examination findings.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, differentiating it from meniscal tears.

    Conclusions:

    • Chiropractors can play a key role in conservative management of plicae syndrome.
    • Conservative treatment may prevent the need for surgical intervention.
