ABSTRACT
The
objective
of
present
study
was
done
to
provide
a
base
line
data
of
morphometric
parameters
of
lateral
meniscus.
Variations
of
length
and
width
of
lateral
meniscus
may
help
to
determine
the
possibility
of
injury
of
lateral
meniscus.
100
normal
lateral
menisci
were
obtained
during
routine
cadaveric
dissection
of
knee
joints.
The
inner
circumference,
outer
circumference
and
width
of
right,
left
and
total
meniscus
were
tabulated.
Lateral
and
medial
meniscus
act
as
cushions
in
legs.
The
lateral
and
medial
menisci
are
important
articular
elements
of
knee
joint,
performing
functions,
like
weight
bearing,
shock absorption. Their function is stabilization in every plane but they have important role in rotational movement.
KEY WORDS:
Menisci, Knee joint, Articulation, Articular, Lateral meniscus.
