Mediopatellar plica

A mediopatellar plica is a flattened band of synovium (joint lining) inside the knee, left over from the embryological development of the knee.

The presence of a mediopatellar plica is variable, and so is the size. Some people do not have one and in other the plica may be large and interfere with joint mechanics.
