What can you see in the clip?

The knee has two menisci - crescent-shaped cartilage structures between the thigh bone and the shin bone. They help distribute load, stabilize the knee and absorb force when stepping, squatting or changing direction. The clip places this within “Meniscus (inner and outer)” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
