Arthroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of mediopatellar plica syndrome of the knee

Abstract

27 patients with arthroscopicafly diagnosed and treated mediopatellar plica syndrome were reviewed average 16 months (6-33 months) after the operation. There were 22.vales and 5 females whose ages were average. 29 years (range, 16-63 years). A history of trauma to the same knee was present in 78% of the patients. The most frequent complaint was pain with activity, while ascending and descending stairs, and pain with prolonged flexion of the knee. Only 2 of the patients were thought to have hypertrophic mediopatellar pfica clinically. Arthroscopy revealed additionallesions in 44% of the patients. Arthroscopic segmental resection was performed in all cases. According to the Lysholm scoring scale, results were excellent in 13 (48%), good in 6 (22 %). fair in 3 (11%), and poor in 5 (19%). All the poor results were encountered in patients with additionallesions. 24 patients returned to their preinjury activity levels (Tegner). 2 patients have not tried their preinjury levels, and 1 patient has reduce his activity level. It is concluded that arthroscopy is an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of the plica syndrome of the knee.
