Medial & Lateral Meniscus: Cartilage that separates femur & tibia. Divided into two crescent shaped discs located medially & laterally.
When viewed from superior the medial meniscus is “C” shaped & the lateral meniscus is “O” shaped.
The meniscus attach to tibial plateau along periphery. They attach to the patella via patellomeniscal ligaments which are thickenings of anterior joint capsule.
Medial meniscus is much less mobile during joint motion than lateral meniscus. Medial meniscus is firmly attached to knee joint capsule & medial collateral ligament (MCL).
Lateral meniscus is less firmly attached to joint capsule & does not attach to lateral collateral ligament (LCL).
The medial & lateral meniscus transmit weight bearing forces, provide stability & absorb shock, facilitates nutrition, provides lubrication & promotes knee proprioception.
Combination of torsion & axial loading appears to be source of most meniscal injuries. Medial meniscus is injured more often than lateral. Posterior horn more common than anterior horn. Isolated meniscus tears usually result from a single traumatic event.
