Knee Meniscus Meniscal Anatomy models 3D knee
The menisci are two crescent shaped wedges in the knee joint. The menisci cover two thirds of the plateau at the top of the tibia. Each meniscus is cartilaginous and tough centrally where it is compressed between the tibia and femur. The meniscus is ligamentous and pliable at its thick peripheral attachments to the joint capsule. The meniscus' anterior and posterior tips or horns are connected to the underlying tibia.

The outer third of each meniscus has a good blood supply from the joint capsule and synovium, allowing the possibility of healing of tears in this region. The outer quarter of each meniscus has a nerve supply that may contribute to the awareness of joint position.
The menisci move and change shape as the larger rounded femoral condyles glide and roll over the smaller, flatter tibial plateau. Knee Meniscus Meniscal Anatomy models 3D knee.
