The menisci - the medial meniscus and lateral meniscus - are crescent-shaped bands of thick, rubbery cartilage attached to the shinbone (tibia). They act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. The medial meniscus is on the inner side of the knee joint. The lateral meniscus is on the outside of the knee. Meniscus tears can vary widely in size and severity. A meniscus can be split in half, ripped around its circumference in the shape of a C or left hanging by a thread to the knee joint.
They also act as stabilizers to the joint. The menisci act to distribute weight on the stifle joint.. Between the ends of the femur and the tibia there is two thick pieces of C-shaped fibro cartilage that help act as additional shock absorbers. If the menisci are damaged it can result in a lame horse.he stifle joint in a horse is very much like your knee.. It is a complex structure and is subject to many problems. The stifle is found on the horse's hind legs. Just an interesting note about the horse's forelimb knee.. It works more like a human wrist.
