Knee joint effusion. Diffuse synovial thickening and enhancement consistent with synovitis. Thickened medial patellar plica with a large focal near full thickness medial patella facet cartilage defect, which is a well recognized association. Mild semimembranosus-tibial collateral ligament bursitis is also present.
Case Discussion
In addition to diffuse knee joint synovitis, there is a thickened medial patellar plica with an associated medial patella facet cartilage defect (medial patellar plica syndrome).
