The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and the menisci attach to the intercondylar area. The menisci are C-shaped wedges of fibrocartilage located between the tibial plateau and femoral condyles. The anterior and posterior horns of both menisci are secured to the tibial plateaus. The coronary ligaments of the knee are continuous with the joint capsule and the menisci. It is one of two menisci of the knee, the other being the medial meniscus. The anterior aspects of both menisci are connected by the transverse ligament. The two menisci are attached to each other anteriorly by the ligament. There are two menisci in the knee, the medial (inner) and the lateral (outer). The femur attempts to spread the menisci anteroposteriorly in extension and mediolaterally in flexion. The orthopedic classification of discoid menisci includes&colon; complete, incomplete or Wrisberg-ligament types as depicted here. The menisci themselves cannot be visualised with plain radiographs. By capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. These menisci act to distribute body weight across the knee joint. There are two menisci in the knee. Those for the hemispherical and cylindrical menisci are shown below.
