It is in relation, in front, with the anterior crucial ligament; behind, with the capsular ligament. The semilunar fibrocartilages (menisci) (Figs. 267 and 268) are two crescentic lamellfe which serve to deepen the surface of the head of the tibia, for articula- tion with the condyles of the femur. The circumference of each cartilage is thick, convex, and attached to the inside of the capsule of the knee; the inner border. PATELLAR BURSA TUBE

Their upper surfaces are concave, and in relation with the condyles of the femur; their lower surfaces are flat, and rest upon the head of the tibia. Each cartilage covers nearly the outer two-thirds of the corresponding articular surface of the tibia, leaving the inner third uncovered; both surfaces are smooth and invested by synovial membrane. The internal semilunar fibrocartilage {tiieniscus medialis) is nearly semicir- cular in form, a little elongated from before backward, and broader behind than.
