Anatomy and Vascularisation

The idiom ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with a single image more effectively then a description does. This chapter will focus on the astonishing meniscus anatomy. A number of highly detailed pictures are provided, highlighting the fact that an in-depth anatomical knowledge has a direct impact on meniscal reconstruction techniques (including any meniscal surgery: meniscectomy, suturing or meniscus replacement), thus determining their final clinical outcome.
