The meniscus is C-shaped and triangular in cross section, sitting between the femur and tibia on both sides of the knee. Its main function is to protect the cartilage joint surfaces from force and load. The outer third has blood flow; the inner two thirds are avascular. The meniscus attaches via anterior and posterior horns and capsular attachments.
