Q: Can ACL and meniscus injuries simultaneously occur in the same knee? A: Certainly. ACL and meniscus injuries co-occurring is not only possible but also a frequent event. Both components are crucial to the knee's function and stability. The ACL, one of the major ligaments in the knee...
The two menisci of the knee are crescent-shaped wedges that fill the gap between the tibia and femur. The menisciprovide joint stabilityby creating a cup for the femur to sit in. The outer edges are fairly thick while the inner surfaces are thin. If the menisci were missing, the curved ...
