What are the differences between the medial and lateral meniscus?
Both the Medial and lateral menisci are outside the synovial cavity but within the joint cavity. The Medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus. The Medial meniscus is C shaped where as the lateral mensicus is circular shaped.

What is signal intensity with the medial meniscus?
Signal intensity refers to the brightness of an image on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. When evaluating the medial meniscus, signal intensity can help identify abnormalities such as tears or degeneration. Changes in signal intensity of the medial meniscus can indicate injury or pathology.
What does medial meniscus posterior horn intrasubstance signal mean?
Medial meniscus posterior horn intrasubstance signal refers to abnormalities seen in the inner portion of the back part of the knee meniscus on MRI imaging.
