17+ Medial Meniscus Knee Anatomy. In this video, we explore the medial and lateral menisci and associated structures in the knee joint. The knee menisci are fibrocartilaginous structures that sit within the knee joint, deepening the tibiofemoral articulation.
In other animals they may be present in other joints.
Mcl anatomy (medial collateral ligament). The medial meniscus is more vulnerable to injury than the lateral meniscus because of its fixity to the tibial collateral ligament, and because of greater excursion during rotator movements. Medial and lateral, mcl & lcl that are found either side of the joint and control another important part of knee anatomy is the joint capsule. It acts as a shock absorber in the knee.
