WUTH publication: Atraumatic, symptomatic ankle plica successfully treated by arthroscopic debridement: a case report.
Citation: The journal of foot and ankle surgery, 2012 Jul-Aug; 51(4), 472-4

Ankle plicae, however, remain an uncommon diagnosis and have previously only been reported as symptomatic in the post-traumatic ankle. Here the authors present a case report of an atraumatic, symptomatic ankle plica successfully treated with arthroscopic debridement.
