The articular surface of the lateral one is more strongly curv-ed than that of the medial one; the latter is confluent below with the medial ridge of the trochlea, Medial condyle 0} Jemur Medial femoro-tibial ligament Medial ; Medial condyle of tibia. Base of patella Accessory carlil'ige Medial ridge of trochlea Medial patellar liga- ment Middle patellar liga- ment Tuberosiiy of tibia while the narrow ridge which connects the lateral condyle with the trochlea is usually non-articular. The saddle-shaped surfaces of the condyles of the tibia are not adapted to the femoral condyles, and are in contact with only a small part of them. The menisci, lateral and medial (Meniscus lateralis, medialis),^ are two C- shaped or crescentic plates of fibro-cartilage which produce congruence in the ar- ticular surfaces. Each has a proximal concave surface adapted to the condyle of the femur, and a distal surface which fits the corresponding cond^de of the tibia. ' These are also commonly termed the semilimar cartilages, although they are not so Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sisson, Septimus, 1865-1924.
