The menisci are semilunar discs of fibrocartilaginous tissue which play critical roles
in knee joint biomechanics [1]. Despite, it has been described in the past as nearly useless
with perhaps some minor roles on joint nutrition and stabilization [2]. These complex
structures are primarily composed of an interlacing network of collagen fibers
(predominantly type I collagen) interposed with cells, and an extracellular matrix (ECM) of
proteoglycans and glycoproteins.
