Meniscus Diagram Of The Knee. The knee menisci are fibrocartilaginous structures that sit within the knee joint, deepening the tibiofemoral articulation. It is less mobile than the lateral meniscus because it is firmly attached to the Partial meniscectomy involves a partial removal of the meniscus, as opposed to the full removal that occurs during total meniscectomy.

In humans they are present in the knee, wrist, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and temporomandibular joints; in other animals they may be present in other joints. The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the body, holding together the thigh bone, shin bone, fibula (on the outer side of the shin), and kneecap.

Anatomy of the Knee involves different structures in the knee joint and how they connect to each other.
The patellar ligament is the anterior ligament of the knee joint. If you think of the knee in layers, the deepest layer is bone and ligaments, then ligaments of the joint capsule, then muscles on top. On a coronal image you will first see an enlarged bulky anterior horn.
