Meniscal cartilage replacement therapy Meniscal cartilage replacement therapy Meniscal cartilage replacement therapy is surgical replacement of the meniscus of the knee as a treatment for where the meniscus is so damaged that it would otherwise need to be removed. The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of fibrocartilage located at the peripheral aspect of the knee joint that offers lubrication and nutrition to the joint. Each knee has two menisci, medial and lateral, whose purpose is to provide space between the tibia and the femur, preventing friction and allowing for the diffusion of articular cartilage. The majority of the meniscus has no blood supply. As
Vertical clinging and leaping phalangeal index, low intermembral index, femurs with cylindrical head and high, narrow patellar grooves, and fused fibula and tibia. The high phalangeal index is the elongation of the phalangeal finger bones, which helps vertical clingers who require increased prehensile power in their hands to support their large bulk. The low intermebral index is the total length of the humerus and radius in percentage of total length of the femur and tibia. The features of the femur is part of an evolution of elongated femurs that helps the primates' extreme range of flexion and extension, which allows them to perform their
