The medial plica may be caused by direct trauma or joint degeneration, which also could be iatrogenic. There have been few reports in the literature discussing incidence of the medial plica caused by an operation on the knee joint, specifically after the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In this study, we aimed to evaluate and analyze the relationship between the incidence of the medial plica and reconstruction of the ACL. ⋯ Medial plica is more common in patients after reconstruction of ACL. More associated injuries and more rehabilitation difficulties can increase the medial plica incidence.
