  1. semilunar cartilage

    Semilunar cartilage refers to either of the two crescent-shaped fibrocartilage structures (medial meniscus and lateral meniscus) in the knee joint that serve to absorb shock, distribute load, enhance joint stability, and aid in lubrication. It is called semilunar because of its half-moon shape. Dysfunction or injury to these structures can lead to knee pain and limited mobility.
