A plica is a remnant of tissue left over from fetal development. In early development, his knee was divided into separate compartments. Compartment dividers are gradually lost over time, but there are some remains.
When this remnant tissue is most prominent, it is called escrow. When the escrow is irritated, It's called plica syndrome. A plica resection is performed to remove irritated tissue.
