To investigate and evaluate the prevalence of 4 kinds of synovial plicae named according to patella, which are inferior, medial, lateral and superior.
We evaluated plicae in 318 knee arthroscopies through video records, obtained from January 1994 to December 2002 in the Arthroscopy Unit, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey. In addition, we also investigated plicae in 7 bilateral knee cadavers.
In the arthroscopic evaluation, the prevalence of infrapatellar synovial plica was 194 (61%), mediopatellar plica was 302 (95%), lateral patellar plica was 66 (20.7%) and suprapatellar plica was 184 (57.8%). We found that there were 8 (57%) infrapatellar synovial plicae, 13 (92%) mediopatellar plicae, 7 (50%) lateral patellar plicae and 6 (42%) suprapatellar plicae in 14 cadaveric knees.
We observed a high prevalence of lateral plicae and mediopatellar plicae on the cadavers and the people with arthroscopic diagnosis, and believe our results can contribute to knee anatomy and surgery.
研究并评估根据髌骨命名的4种滑膜皱襞(即髌下、髌内侧、髌外侧和髌上滑膜皱襞)的发生率。
我们通过视频记录对1994年1月至2002年12月在土耳其埃迪尔内特拉凯亚大学医学院骨科关节镜科进行的318例膝关节镜检查中的皱襞进行了评估。此外,我们还对7具双侧膝关节尸体进行了皱襞研究。
在关节镜评估中,髌下滑膜皱襞的发生率为194例(61%),髌内侧滑膜皱襞为302例(95%),髌外侧滑膜皱襞为66例(20.7%),髌上滑膜皱襞为184例(57.8%)。我们发现,在14具尸体膝关节中,有8例(57%)髌下滑膜皱襞、13例(92%)髌内侧滑膜皱襞、7例(50%)髌外侧滑膜皱襞和6例(42%)髌上滑膜皱襞。
我们观察到尸体和经关节镜诊断的人群中髌外侧和髌内侧滑膜皱襞的发生率较高,并认为我们的结果可为膝关节解剖学和手术提供参考。
