Ligament & Meniscus. Related topic Background Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called âthe cartilageâ, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C, or crescent shaped, and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint.
