What is a medial plica of the knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Synovial fold: Medial plica is a thickening or fold in the synovial lining of the knee. (plica synovialis mediopatellaris = medial plica: extends from the infrapatellar fat pad to the medial capsule of the knee, in the coronal plane.) this is a common finding which generally causes no problems. Very rarely it can cause a painful plica syndrome.
