Surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor, and can diagnose and repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments and menisci or cartilage.
It is one of two menisci of the knee, the other being the medial meniscus.
Menisci can be torn during innocuous activities such as walking or squatting.
Force is then required to break these menisci.
Many other types of curvature are possible and equations for the curvature of menisci are readily available at numerous sources.
The menisci play several key roles that are vital in maintaining the health of the knee.
The flatter outer margins are in contact with the menisci.
There are two menisci in the knee, the medial (inner) and the lateral (outer).
