This anatomic specimen shows – from the top- the semicircular shape of the two menisci, medial (MI) and lateral (ME). The lateral meniscus is shaped like an incomplete letter “O”; the medial meniscus is more open, like the letter "C". The two menisci are firmly anchored to the bone (Pt); in the center of the articulation are visible the  tibial insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament (LCA) and behind it, the posterior cruciate ligament (LCP).
