Joints & cartilage
Looks like
The short inner layer of the ligament on the inner side of the knee, joined to the medial meniscus.
What it does
Holds the medial meniscus to the femur and tibia and adds inner knee stability.
Keeping it well
Injured with the superficial part; because it is tied to the meniscus, meniscus tears can come with it.
