Question

1. Describe multiple possible prevention strategies for a Meniscus injury.

Expert Solution

Step 1

In contrast to an articular disc, a meniscus is a crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous anatomical structure that only partially splits a joint cavity. They are found in the knee, wrist, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and temporomandibular joints in humans; other species may have them in other joints. The term "meniscus" often refers to the cartilage of the knee, either the lateral or medial meniscus. Both are cartilaginous tissues that support the knee's structural integrity under stress and torsion. Because of their half-moon, crescent form, the menisci are sometimes called as "semi-lunar" cartilages.
