Relationship between meniscus and cartilage gross morphology. Correlation between total cartilage scores (condyles, tibia, trochlea and patella) compared to the total menisci scores. Cartilage scores were assessed according the mapping system recommended by the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) and by using a modified Outerbridge system. Macroscopic grades for both menisci were obtained by using the new proposed grading systems in this study for each location (anterior, middle and posterior).
