Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The knee joint is a synovial joint present in the lower leg. It is formed of three bones: the femur, tibia and fibula. A meniscus is a fibrocartilage which is semicircular shaped. It is commonly found in the knee, and wrist joints. The term meniscus is derived from the Greek word "meniskos" meaning "crescent". The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint where the temporal bone of the skull connects the mandible or the lower jawbone. The articular disc of the temporomandibular joint is an oval shaped, thin fibrocartilage present between the mandible and the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. The menisci and the articular disc provide stability to the joints.
