The menisci — the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus - are crescent-shaped bands of thick, rubbery cartilage attached to the shinbone (tibia). They act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. The medial meniscus is on the inner side of the knee joint. The lateral meniscus is on the outside of the knee.
Located on the outer side of the knee, the lateral meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that attaches to the shin. It is larger and closer to a full circle than the medial meniscus and in turn covers more surface.
