Have you ever wondered what the meniscus in the knee does and what it looks like on MRI? Actually, there are two in each knee, and they sit between the femur and the tibia. Each meniscus acts like a cushion, transferring energy across the knee joint and also providing stability to the knee. When a meniscus tears that can cause pain, locking, instability and swelling around the knee. There are many different kinds of meniscal tears. MRI is a great test for looking at the meniscus and determining if there is a tear. Here are two pictures, one of a normal knee with an intact meniscus and another with a torn meniscus. The meniscus has a triangular shape on these images.
