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.
Background. Plica syndrome of the knee is a constellation of signs and symptoms that occur secondary to injury or overuse. Plica is a Latin word meaning fold.. This term is simply a descriptive one; there is no empiric evidence that true folding of the synovial lining ever occurs.he mediopatellar plica (referred to by some as the Aoki ledge or Iino band) is the most frequently cited cause of plica syndrome. It lies on the medial wall of the joint, originating suprapatellar, and courses obliquely down to insert on the infrapatellar (ie, Hoffa) fat pad.
