Meniscus is a crescent-shaped piece of fibrocartilage inside the knee joint. It sits between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). It helps the knee bear load and move smoothly during walking, running, and squatting. The term is most commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and knee imaging reports.
