🦵 Early Signs of Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Knee pain that starts small can become a major concern if ignored. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of knee pain, especially after the age of 40. Recognizing the early symptoms helps in timely treatment and prevention of joint damage.

🔹 Early morning stiffness
🔹 Pain during movement or after rest
🔹 Swelling around the knee joint
🔹 Grinding or cracking sounds (crepitus)
🔹 Reduced range of motion

If you notice these signs, consult an orthopaedic specialist early. With proper diagnosis, lifestyle changes, physiotherapy, and timely treatment, you can stay active and pain-free for years.

Knee Plica Syndrome

Definition:
Knee plica syndrome is a painful condition caused by irritation or inflammation of a remnant synovial fold (plica) within the knee joint. Plicae are normal embryological structures that usually regress, but sometimes persist and become symptomatic.

Anatomy & Types of Plica:
There are four main types of synovial plica in the knee:

Suprapatellar plica – above the patella.

Mediopatellar (medial) plica – along the medial aspect of the knee, most commonly symptomatic.

Infrapatellar plica – below the patella, also called ligamentum mucosum.

Lateral plica – rare.

Etiology / Pathophysiology:

Normally asymptomatic, but can become pathologic when:

Trauma (direct blow or twisting injury)

Overuse (repetitive knee flexion/extension, common in athletes)

Inflammation due to maltracking of the patella

Thickening or fibrosis of the plica causing it to rub against femoral condyle or patella

Clinical Features:

Symptoms:

Anterior or anteromedial knee pain, worse with activity (stairs, squatting, running).

Clicking, snapping, or catching sensation.

Intermittent swelling or stiffness.

Signs:

Localized tenderness over medial femoral condyle.

Palpable cord-like band sometimes felt during knee movement.

Pain reproduced by flexion-extension with internal rotation of tibia.

Differential Diagnosis:

Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Meniscal tears (especially medial)

Chondromalacia patellae

Osteochondritis dissecans

Investigations:

Clinical diagnosis is most important.

MRI: May show thickened plica or exclude other causes.

Arthroscopy: Gold standard for both diagnosis and treatment.

Management:

Conservative:

Rest, activity modification

NSAIDs, ice application

Physiotherapy (quadriceps & hamstring stretching, strengthening, patellar tracking exercises)

Corticosteroid injection (in resistant cases)

Surgical:

Arthroscopic resection/excision of the symptomatic plica if conservative measures fail.

Prognosis:

Most patients respond well to conservative management.

Arthroscopic excision gives good results with low recurrence if symptoms persist.
