Fenestrated medial patellar plicae are unusual. These fenestrated medial plica may vary in size and shape from being small circular and 5mm in diameter to being large opening 3-4cm long. Arthroscopic resection of the painful medial plica can provide lasting and satisfactory relief of symptoms. There is high percentage of associated medial knee symptoms that are relieved by complete resection. We had performed arthroscopic excision of the symptomatic fenestrated medial plicae present in both knees. The symptoms were dramatically relieved after arthroscopic surgery.
