The medial meniscus is more likely to be injured than the lateral meniscus due to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which restricts its mobility and makes it more susceptible to injury during twisting motions of the knee. Additionally, the medial meniscus has a C-shape that makes it more prone to tears, especially during activities that involve rapid changes in direction or weight-bearing. The lateral meniscus, being more mobile and less tethered to surrounding structures, often sustains fewer injuries.

When the knee is hit from the lateral side the ligament most likely injured is the?
lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is most likely injured when the knee is hit from the lateral side. The LCL connects the femur (thigh bone) to the fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg) and provides stability to the outer side of the knee.

What is medial meniscus tear?
It is when the cartilage in the knee called the meniscus is torn apart. this is also confused with an over-sized meniscus (which i have). it comes with pain, instability, and the sensation of giving out. The meniscus may heal or may not. Surgery to get the meniscus repaired is possible. the injury will most likely not take you out of a sport such as football or baseball.
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. The Medial meniscus is directly attached to the medial collateral ligament, where as the Popliteal muscle interferes in between the attachment of lateral meniscus and lateral collateral ligament.
What are some examples of meniscus?
Examples of meniscus include the crescent-shaped cartilage discs located in the knee joints (lateral and medial meniscus), and the curved surface of water in a graduated cylinder due to surface tension.
