Sixty-years-old female patient complaining from knee pain since 15 years. The patient could not localize the pain at first. Since 10 years, she experiences a temporary pain localized at the medial side of tibiofemoral joint during twisting her knee. Also, pain persists at the medial patellar region at semi-flexed position of her knee. The patient did not benefit from conversative treatment with the diagnosis of gonarthrosis. We performed knee artrhroplasty. During arthroplasty, we observed that the medial femoral condyle was damaged due to long term mediopatellar plica impingement
