The Capsules are Removed. 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 condyle of the tibia.
