Because of its strength and durability, fibrocartilage is found in areas of the body which are subjected to the most strain and impact such as the spine, knees and pelvis, where it provides support and strength and acts as a shock absorber.
Fibrocartilage is found in the pubic symphysis, the annulus fibrosus of intervertebral discs, menisci, and the TMJ. During labor, relaxin loosens the pubic symphysis to aid in delivery, but this can lead to later joint problems.
There are not many areas of the human body where fibrocartilage is found. Two of the only areas are the pubic symphisis and the joints between each vertebra of the backbone. The reason why it is found in so little places is because we do not need such a specialized cartilage in many places. Fibrocartilage creates a tight binding, is flexible, and provides a cushion for our bones.
Fibrocartilage is a type of cartilage found in areas such as the meniscus of the knee, the pubic symphysis, and the vertebral discs. This cartilage is strong and durable.
Fibrocartilage can be found in the knee joint of the body. Fibrocartilage can also be found many other places inside of the human body.

Fibrocartilage is found most notably in the discs between vertebrae. This cartilage is a mixture of white fibrous tissue and cartilage tissue.

One of the places it can be found is the meniscus
A disc of cartilage is found between each of the vertebrae.

Yes, that is where joints that are made of a lot of fibers are found.
