  2. Meniscus tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus_tear

    A tear of a meniscus is a rupturing of one or more of the fibrocartilage strips in the knee called menisci. When doctors and patients refer to "torn cartilage" in the knee, they actually may be referring to an injury to a meniscus at the top of one of the tibiae. Menisci can be torn during innocuous activities such as walking or squatting.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_handle_tear

    The knee joint contains two crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures, the menisci (medial and lateral), which serve as shock absorbers and stabilize the joint during movement. Each meniscus has an outer vascular zone (red-red zone), which has a good blood supply and healing potential as well as a central avascular zone (white-white zone ...

  4. Medial meniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_meniscus

    A person occasionally injures the medial meniscus without harming the ligaments. Healing of the medial meniscus is generally not possible unless the patient is very young, usually <15 years old. Damage to the outer third of the meniscus has the best healing potential because of the blood supply, but the inner two thirds of the medial meniscus ...

  5. Knee arthritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_arthritis

    The knee is one of the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. [2] Cartilage in the knee may begin to break down after sustained stress, leaving the bones of the knee rubbing against each other and resulting in osteoarthritis. [7] Nearly a third of US citizens are affected by osteoarthritis of the knee by age 70. [8]

  6. Meniscus (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscus_(anatomy)

    A meniscus (pl.: menisci or meniscuses) is a crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous anatomical structure that, in contrast to an articular disc, only partly divides a joint cavity. [1] In humans, they are present in the knee, wrist, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and temporomandibular joints; [2] in other animals they may be present in other ...

  7. Articular cartilage damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_cartilage_damage

    Articular cartilage damage in the knee may be found on its own but it will more often be found in conjunction with injuries to ligaments and menisci. People with previous surgical interventions face more chances of articular cartilage damage due to altered mechanics of the joint. Articular cartilage damage may also be found in the shoulder ...

  8. Articular capsule of the knee joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_capsule_of_the...

    The articular capsule of the knee joint is the wide and lax joint capsule of the knee. It is thin in front and at the side, and contains the patella, ligaments, menisci, and bursae of the knee. [1] The capsule consists of an inner synovial membrane, and an outer fibrous membrane separated by fatty deposits anteriorly and posteriorly. [2]

  9. Meniscal cartilage replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscal_cartilage...

    The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of fibrocartilage located at the peripheral aspect of the knee joint that offers lubrication and nutrition to the joint. Each knee has two menisci, medial and lateral, whose purpose is to provide space between the tibia and the femur, preventing friction and allowing for the diffusion of articular cartilage.
