Over the years, the concept of the meniscus has greatly evolved from being just a useless vestigial structure to a multifunctional and essential part of the knee. Currently, menisci are considered to be responsible for load transmission, joint lubrication, shock absorption, and joint stability [1, 2].

Mechanoreceptors in the Human Medial Meniscus
Cells Tissues Organs, 1988Medial menisci, obtained at autopsy, were sectioned into radial segments which were stained in bulk using a modified gold chloride method following pretreatment with Triton X-100. Segments were then sectioned on a sliding microtome at 100 µm, mounted on slides, dehydrated and coverslipped.

Anomalies of the Discoid Medial Meniscus
Orthopedics, 2011Anomalies associated with a discoid medial meniscus have been described. However, the clinical relevance of these anomalies has not been previously reported. Therefore, we report the clinical relevance of some of these anomalies based on our experience with a 21-year-old soldier with a 3-month history of medial right knee pain.

A case report of an incidental finding in a young female with a bilateral hypoplastic medial menisci is presented and, as far as we know, is the first report of bilateral hypoplasia of the medial meniscus in the literature.

Medial Meniscus Posterior Horn Avulsion
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2009Avulsion of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus can occur from acute trauma or chronic degeneration, leading to meniscus extrusion, articular cartilage loss, osteophyte formation, and medial joint space narrowing. With meniscus extrusion, the meniscus is unable to resist hoop stresses and cannot shield the adjacent articular cartilage from ...
