Plica Syndrome is a well-recognized but frequently misidentified cause of anterior and medial knee pain. The synovial plica — a fold of the joint's inner lining left over from embryological development — can become inflamed, thickened, and fibrotic in response to repetitive stress, overuse, or trauma. Patients often report a characteristic snapping, clicking, or popping sensation in the knee, commonly aggravated by prolonged sitting, squatting, or stair climbing. Because these symptoms overlap with patellofemoral syndrome, meniscal pathology, and other knee conditions, accurate clinical differentiation is essential.
In Orthopedics 216: Plica Syndrome, Dr. Michael Hall, DC, FIACN takes you through a structured, clinically grounded approach to evaluating and managing this condition. The course begins with comprehensive patient history taking — identifying key red and yellow flags, mechanism of onset, activity-related aggravating factors, and prior treatment history. You will then move through a detailed physical examination sequence that includes palpation of the plica, range of motion assessment, special orthopedic tests, and neurological screening.
From there, the course addresses imaging and diagnostic testing — when to order, what to order, and how to interpret findings in the context of Plica Syndrome. Dr. Hall then covers evidence-informed chiropractic treatment strategies, physical therapy rehabilitation protocols, nutritional interventions to address inflammation, and documentation and coding best practices to protect the clinician and the patient. The course concludes with a discussion of collaborative care options, including when co-management with physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, or sports medicine physicians is appropriate.
