A meniscus is a type of cartilage that exists in your knee joint. There are two menisci in your knee; each rests between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). The meniscus is made of tough cartilage and conforms to the surfaces of the bones upon which they rest. One meniscus is on the inner side of your knee--the medial meniscus.
