Medial meniscus

is idiopathic. The medial is semicircular and lateral is a complete circle. The meniscus is made out of fibrocartilage, type I. Blood supply depends on the capillary as one-third of the ring is avascular, also known as the part that can heal. The function of the meniscus is to load absorption and serve as a shock absorber when pressure is applied across the knee. If the meniscus was taken away, the knee would experience 50% more stress pressure. The second function of the meniscus is to…

the cartilage and those that the shock absorbers. According to the findings of Scuderi and Tria in 2010, in this cartilaginous structure there is the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus. The menisci are made up of fibrous crescent shaped cartilage. The medial meniscus is attached to the tibia on the inside of the knee and the lateral meniscus is attached to the tibia on the outside of the knee. The menisci sit on top of the tibia which allows the weight bearing force to be spread across a…

and the technical aspects of arthroscopic meniscus repair for treating the recurrent subluxation with peripheral tears around popliteal hiatus of the LM. Methods: Twenty three patients (24 knees) with symptomatic recurrent subluxation of the LM treated by arthroscopic meniscus repair were included. The inclusion criteria were (1) patients with knee pain, locking or snapping symptoms despite 3 months of conservative treatment, (2) non-discoid lateral meniscus, (3) stable knee, and (4) tears…

multiple knee conditions or injuries at once. Lionel Perales visited Manhattan Orthopedic Care because of an agonizing pain in his knees. During the initial appointment, Dr. Armin Tehrany thoroughly examined Lionel’s knees and diagnosed him with meniscus tears and chondromalacia of patella. Since his both knees were in a bad shape, Dr. Tehrany recommended proceeding with a knee surgery that will address all problems at once. Understanding how stressful and terrifying…

The knee joint is classified as a type of synovial joint, which is one of the most common and complex joints found in the human body. The knee is a meeting point for the femur, fibula, tibia, and the patella. In order to maintain its flexibility and function, several other ligaments join the knee joint in order to keep the attaching bones in place. The knee is the joint where the femur and the tibia meet; the patella (kneecap) is made of bone and sits in front of the knee. The knee joint is a…

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments within the knee that connect the femur to the tibia. The knee is basically a hinged joint that is held together by the medial collateral ligament (MCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL runs diagonally in the middle of the knee, preventing the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, as well as providing rotational stability to the…

as articulating cartilage lines the ends of the tibia and femur, and the anterior of the patella, reducing friction and providing a surface for smooth contact during flexion, extension or rotation. The knee joint also contains the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus. These…
