The meniscus is a rubber-like elastic cushion located between the femur and the tibia, acting as a shock absorber for the knee. There are two menisci, one medial, and one lateral. Of which, Grade 2 medial meniscus tears are often severe. The characteristic of Grade 2 medial meniscus tears is that they can be split in half or torn around the circumference in a C-shape and often require surgical intervention.
