Meniscal Repair Surgery

A meniscus is a sickle molded fibrocartilaginous anatomical structure that, as opposed to an articular plate, just incompletely isolates a joint pit. In people they are available in the knee, wrist, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and temporomandibular joints; in different creatures they might be available in different joints.

For the most part, the expression "meniscus" is utilized to allude to the ligament of the knee, either to the sidelong or average meniscus. Both are cartilaginous tissues that give basic honesty to the knee when it experiences strain and torsion. The menisci are otherwise called "semi-lunar" ligaments, alluding to their half-moon, sickle shape.

The expression "meniscus" is from the Ancient Greek word (meniskos), signifying "sickle."

The menisci of the knee are two stack of fibrocartilaginous tissue which serves to scatter rubbing in the knee joint between the lower leg (tibia) and the thigh (femur). They are inward on the top and level on the base, articulating with the tibia. They are appended to the little sorrows (fossae) between the condyles of the tibia (intercondyloid fossa), and towards the inside they are unattached and their shape river to a slight shelf. The blood stream of the meniscus is from the fringe (outside) to the focal meniscus. Blood stream diminishes with age and the focal meniscus is avascular by adulthood, prompting exceptionally poor recuperating rates.
