A member asked:
Would surgery for plica syndrome lead to removing the same thing that secretes synovial fluid to lubricate our joints? would there be side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
possibly: Plica or shelf(s) syndrome that is clinically signifigant generally causes 'popping' or 'catching' when you bend your knee.It may feel like it is 'giving way' if it hurts when it 'catches'.Most plica are asymptomatic.Sometimes patellofemoral instability and pain can be confused w/a plica.See an ors and get 2nd opinion before considering surgery. Good luck!
