Medial and lateral condyles of tibia
- The superior articular surface of the lateral condyle is shorter in anteroposterior diameter than the superior articular surface of the medial condyle by about the thickness of the fibular head.
- Thus, the corresponding lateral meniscus is short and "O"-shaped, and the medial meniscus is long and "C"-shaped.
- Thus, the lateral condyle of the femur has a shorter anteroposterior diameter than the medial condyle.
- Thus, with sufficient flexion and extension of the knee, the medial condyle of the femur moves more than the lateral condyle.
