There are 2 types of cartilage in the knee 1 The articular cartilage that cover both the femur and the tibia. 2 The Meniscus. These cartilages fill the space between the femur and the tibia. It is responsible for absorption of impact from the femur to the tibia. It also creates stability and proprioception of the joint. Without meniscus the knee degenerate 10 times faster than normal knee with good meniscus. Ligament injury and abnormal position of the knee also lead to more rapid damage to the cartilage. The common presenting condition is pain in the knee or slightly lower down. It can be diagnosed by physical examination and confirmed by x-ray +- MRI. This condition must be detected early before the damage on the cartilage progress beyond effective repair.
