Complications.—In addition to the chronic inflammatory condition men-tioned above, one may sometimes find that the semilunar cartilages have becomedisplaced because of the trauma. Should the injury have been sufficientlysevere to cause rupture of any of the ligaments, permanent damage may ensue,because the knee-joint depends entirely upon its ligaments for strength. Noreal concavities or convexities of the bones exist.

The semilunar fibro-cartilages (Fig. 307)may be considered as the semicircular remains of complete interarticular fibro-cartilage discs with the centres worn through, leaving sharp free edges directedtoward the tibial spines and a thick periphery still attached to the inside of thecapsule.
