Infrapatellar Plica Syndrome

The infrapatellar plica, also known as the ligamentum mucosum, is a fold of the knee’s synovial membrane that runs from the intercondylar notch of the femur into the infrapatellar fat pad. Though traditionally considered a vestigial remnant, modern studies show it may play a role in knee stability and proprioception. In some individuals, this fold can become thickened, fibrotic, or inflamed, leading to pain and mechanical symptoms in the front of the knee journals.lww.com.

Infrapatellar plica syndrome is a condition where one of the natural folds of the knee’s synovial lining—known as the infrapatellar plica—becomes inflamed, thickened, or injured, leading to anterior knee pain, clicking, and sometimes swelling. This often-overlooked cause of knee discomfort arises from repetitive friction, direct trauma, or biomechanical imbalances around the patellofemoral joint sciencedirect.comncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Early recognition and a comprehensive, multimodal treatment approach can restore knee function and prevent chronic pain.

The infrapatellar plica is one of four synovial folds in the knee joint capsule. It extends from the roof of the joint cavity down toward the infrapatellar fat pad. While usually asymptomatic, it can become pathological—thickening or fibrosing—when repeatedly irritated by abnormal patellar tracking or direct trauma. Pathological infrapatellar plica can impinge on femoral condyles, causing pain with knee flexion and extension pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govsciencedirect.com.

Types of Infrapatellar Plica

Type 1 (Single Band): The most common form, appearing as a single, horizontal or slightly vertical band of synovium running in front of the ACL. Present in about 85% of knees journals.lww.com.

Type 2a (Split – Double Band): Characterized by two parallel bands, often one attached to the intercondylar notch and the other to the ACL or meniscus. Found in roughly 10% of specimens journals.lww.com.

Type 2b (Split – Triple Band): A rarer variant with three distinct bands attaching variably to the femur, ACL, and lateral meniscus. Occurs in about 2.5% of knees journals.lww.com.

Type 3 (Vertical Septum): A vertical synovial wall that divides the joint into medial and lateral compartments. Seen in about 2.5% of cases and can significantly alter joint mechanics journals.lww.com.
