The knee meniscus is made up of two portions of thick, rubbery tissue that line the joint on the tibia. They have a fibrocartilaginous structure. They sit on the top surface of the tibia (shin bone) in two crescent shaped parts: Medial Meniscus:is found on the inner side of the knee ...

The knee meniscus is particularly important as it acts as a shock absorber to reduce the forces going through the bones and reduces friction, allowing the bones to move smoothly. The back of the patella is also lined with cartilage, the thickest in the whole body due to the immense forces...
Not long ago the menisci were regarded as simple spacers in the knee joint, with the only function to make up for the joint surface incongruence between the femur and the tibia. In case of injury to the meniscus, this was removed as thoroughly as possible. Not much was known about the ...
