Knee Injury - Meniscus Cartilage Tear (Patient UK)
Medial Cartilage Meniscus Injury “Each knee joint has two crescent-shaped cartilage menisci. These lie on the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) edges of the upper surface of the tibia (shin) bone. They are essential components, acting as shock absorbers for the knee as well as allowing for the proper interaction and weight distribution between the tibia and the femur (thigh bone). As a result, injuries to either meniscus can lead to critical impairment of the knee itself.”
