The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee joint that acts as a cushion and helps to distribute weight and reduce friction in the joint. It also helps stabilize the knee and absorb shock during activities such as walking, running, and jumping. Injuries to the meniscus, such as tears, are common and can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the knee. #KNEEEXPERT #ARTHROSCOPY #SPORTINJURY #LOCKEDkNEE #
