Plica Syndrome By Jesse L. Pace, DO and Asheesh Bedi, MD. Plica syndrome is often characterized by anterior knee pain, which is most commonly found along the superomedial aspect of the knee. The âplicaâ is due to remnant embryological tissue that compartmentalizes the knee during fetal development.
Normally a plica does not cause problems, but it can become inflamed and thickened from injury or overuse. This is called plica syndrome.. Plica syndrome can interfere with normal joint function and cause pain when the thickened plica rubs over other structures in the knee.It can usually be treated with rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen, and exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the knee.lica syndrome can interfere with normal joint function and cause pain when the thickened plica rubs over other structures in the knee.
