Knee

What is the meniscus and what does it do? Before arthroscopic methods, menisci were thought to be useless remnants, and meniscus tears were considered in every patient with knee pain and menisci were removed during surgery. However, in recent years, it has been understood that the menisci have very important functions for the normal function of the knees. Menisci located between two bones (thigh and tibia) act as a cushion and protect the articular cartilage from abnormal loads. They are very important in the transport and transfer of loads from the knee. They also increase the compatibility of the joint surfaces and contribute to the intra-articular circulation of the joint fluid. In the absence of menisci, the loads on the knee joint are transferred directly to the articular cartilage, causing premature wear, that is, calcification (osteoarthritis). Today, protecting the menisci has become a top priority.
