    AbstractThe C-shaped meniscus cartilages normally insert into bone around the tibial spines of the knee. As the knee joint rotates and flexes, circumferential hoop stresses are generated within the tissue, resisted by the collagen fibers that define both the insertion points and the ultrastructure of the meniscus tissue itself. For a transplanted meniscus to work normally, the biomechanical interface of the collagen fibers to the bone must be recreated.Copyright © 2018 Arthroscopy Association of North America.
