A member asked:
What is the treatment and prognosis for a knee plica in a 10 yo? likelihood for full recovery and ability to run again without surgery? in pt now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It varies a lot. Some patients may have a plica and do fine, not even knowing they have it. Others have persistent pain, swelling, and popping in the knee and ultimately have surgery. Meds, PT, ice, and possibly injection therapy are the typical nonoperative treatments to varying degrees of success.
