    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Knee Anatomy

    Background:

    • The medial patellar plica is a normal synovial fold in the knee.
    • Trauma can cause pathological inflammation or fibrosis of this plica.
    • Symptoms may be misdiagnosed as meniscus tears or chondromalacia patellae.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and clinical significance of medial patellar plica syndrome.
    • To emphasize the importance of early and accurate diagnosis.
    • To outline effective treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation and patient history.
    • Diagnostic arthroscopy for direct visualization.
    • Assessment of synovial inflammation and fibrosis.

    Main Results:

    • Medial patellar plica syndrome can present with symptoms mimicking other knee injuries.
    • Arthroscopy is effective in diagnosing plica-related knee pain.
    • Early intervention prevents irreversible articular cartilage damage.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased clinical awareness of medial patellar plica syndrome is essential.
    • Prompt diagnosis via arthroscopy leads to effective, simple treatment.
    • Timely treatment preserves femoral condyle articular cartilage.
