a vestigial extension of the protective synovial capsule of usually the knee becomes irritated enlarged or inflamed 1 cause edit this inflammation is typically caused by the plica being caught on the femur or pinched between the femur and the patella the most common location of plica tissue is along the medial inside side of the knee the plica can tether the patella to the femur be located between the femur and patella or be located along the femoral condyle if the plica tethers the patella to the femoral condyle the symptoms may cause it to be mistaken for chondromalacia the plica themselves are remnants of the fetal stage of development where the knee is divided into three compartments the plica normally diminish in size during the second trimester of fetal development as the three compartments develop into the synovial capsule in adults they normally exist as sleeves of tissue called synovial folds the plica are usually harmless and unobtrusive plica syndrome only occurs when the synovial capsule becomes irritated which thickens the plica themselves making them prone to irritation inflammation or being caught on the femur diagnosis edit if the plica tethers the patella to the femoral condyle the symptoms may cause it to be mistaken for chondromalacia patellae diagnosis is often complicated by the thin structures of plicae fenestrated septum or unfenestrated septum all being too fine to resolve well even in mri treatment edit plica syndrome treatment focuses on decreasing inflammation of the synovial capsule a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug nsaid is often used in conjunction with therapeutic exercise and modalities iontophoresis and phonophoresis have been utilized successfully against inflammation of the plica and synovial capsule failing these surgical removal of the plica of the affected knee may be necessary see also edit knee pain patellofemoral pain syndrome iliotibial band syndrome references edit casadei kyle kiel john 2020 plica syndrome
