meniskens
Meniskens are crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures located within the knee joint, serving as vital components of joint stability and function. Typically, humans have two menisci in each knee: the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus. These structures act as shock absorbers, distributing load evenly across the joint surfaces, and enhance joint congruence, which improves stability during movement.
The menisci are composed of dense, fibrocartilaginous tissue rich in collagen fibers, providing both strength and
Meniscal injuries commonly occur due to trauma, such as twisting or rotational movements, especially during sports.
Treatment varies depending on the severity and location of the tear. Small or peripheral tears may heal
Research continues into tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches to improve meniscal repair and replacement, aiming
