There has been an absence of proof with respect to the design of the elbow plica, or synovial overlap. Irregularity remains with respect to the right wording, pervasiveness, and examination used to comprehend this anatomic construction.
For this deliberate survey, we looked through the PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Embase information bases utilizing catchphrases just as clinical subject headings for English-language considers. We led an efficient audit utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-investigations rules.
We remembered 27 articles for this survey. “Plica” was the most usually utilized phrasing (33%). The predominance of plicae in asymptomatic and indicative patients was 77% and 97%, individually. Provocative components were wearing exercises (57%), including those performed by proficient competitors, and weighty work (43%). Sidelong elbow torment addressed the most well-known manifestation (49%). Attractive reverberation imaging was the most usually utilized indicative methodology (64%). On the attractive reverberation imaging outputs of indicative patients, the most well-known area of the plica was the posterolateral locale (54%) and its thickness was at least 3 mm. In 2 examinations that included indicative patients, the plica was found to cover more than 33% of the outspread head.
