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 and is the larger of the two Lateral Meniscus: is found on the outer side of the knee
The two important tendons in the knee are (1) the quadricepstendon connecting the quadriceps muscle, which lies on the front of the thigh, to the patella and (2) the patellar tendon connecting the patella to the tibia (technically this is a ligament because it connects two bones). The qua...
