Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed 93 patients (118 knees) treated by arthros copic excision of painful medial plica. A scoring scale 0-100 was used to evaluate the symptoms. After an average of 2 (1-4) years, 109 of 1 18 knees had little, if any, pain and the average improvement in the s core was 41 points. Thus arthroscopic excision of a painful medial pli ca can provide lasting and satisfactory relief of symptoms.
