The plica is a synovial fold inside the knee joint that may become symptomatic if for any reason the fold is converted into a bowstring. In 42 patients with chronic knee problems, arthrograms of the knee were obtained with evidence of the plica syndrome. Twenty-four were asymptomatic, 18 symptomatic, and of these 16 were excised. After a mean follow-up period of 3 years, 10 of the symptomatic patients were free of symptoms, while eight were unchanged or worse. The plica syndrome is not common, and careful assessment must be made by exclusion with clinical examination, double-contrast arthrography, and arthroscopy.
滑膜皱襞是膝关节内的一个滑膜皱襞，如果由于任何原因该皱襞变成弓弦状，就可能出现症状。在42例有慢性膝关节问题的患者中，获得了膝关节造影，显示有滑膜皱襞综合征的证据。其中24例无症状，18例有症状，在有症状的患者中，16例进行了切除。平均随访3年后，10例有症状的患者症状消失，而8例无变化或症状加重。滑膜皱襞综合征并不常见，必须通过临床检查、双重对比关节造影和关节镜检查进行仔细评估以排除其他疾病。
