Has anyone who has had plica removed had an issue with scar tissue? If so, does it show up on an mri? I had plica removal on both knees, 1 11 years ago and the other 6 years ago. I have been having pain in the knee that was removed 6 years ago. Had an MRI and there is a little meniscal fraying (nothing the surgeon would do anything about) but other than that, nothing. There is a "binding" feeling when i bend and straighten my knee. The snovial fluid is irritated, but we have not gotten to the bottom of this and i am getting frustrated as it's been 6 months since the pain started. Cortisone does not help.
