Of all the knee joints examined, 2,006 knees belonged to male patients and 1,883 to female patients. Both knee joints were examined in 326 patients. From these data, the incidence of medial plicae was calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall incidence rate of medial plicae was 79.9%.

This pattern was reflected in all age groups in both genders, except in women aged 20 to 39 years.
