Meniscus
Sports injuries and knee ligaments Fourth part: Meniscus 🌷 Menisci are two sheets of fibrous cartilage that reduce joint wear by increasing the contact surface. Every knee has two menisci, inner and outer respectively, the first one is more likely to be torn and the second one is more important. During the rotational movements of the knee, the meniscus may get stuck between two bones and get torn Usually, rupture occurs acutely, but swelling occurs a few hours or days later It is possible that in some cases, following a tear, a piece of the meniscus gets stuck between the bones and prevents the joint from fully opening.
