– Discussion: – medial suprapatellar plica lies above the patella and medial synovial shelf; – size of plica may vary from partial plica to a complete suprapatellar membrane dividing the joint into two distinct compartments; – Clinical Manifestation: – symptoms from this plica are considered rare unless the plica is … Read more

– Anatomy and Function: (see medial compartment of knee / patellar subluxation); – medial patellofemoral ligament, a distinct condensation of capsular fibers in coronal plane which originates at the medial epicondyle (adductor tubercle and adductor tendon) as well as the MCL; – deep fascia and aponeurotic edge of the VMO fuses with the superior border … Read more
– See: – Medial Tibial Plateua Fractures: – Discussion: – on medial side, plate is applied to anteromedial face of proximal metaphysis deep to pes anserinus & anterior fibers of MCL; – Incision: – incision begins over medial femoral condyle, continues anterodistally then crosses the joint line near the … Read more
– Discussion: – most common form of plica; – located over the medial femoral condyle; – vulnerable to direct trauma when the knee is flexed; – repeated trauma or irritation may lead to inflammation and fibrosis of the plica; – fibrotic plica has decreased elasticity which causes … Read more
