Fibrocartilage is a stiff, robust tissue found mostly in intervertebral disks and at ligament and tendon insertions; it is similar to other fibrous tissues but contains cartilage ground substance and chondrocytes.
Fibrocartilage is the tough material that makes up intervertebral discs, intraarticular cartilages in the knee, wrist, and temporo-mandibular joints, and articular cartilage in the temporo-mandibular joint and the clavicle-sternum joint.
The human body’s fibrocartilage locations
Pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint. Intervertebral disc annulus fibrosis. Joint between the manubrium and the sternum.
Shoulder joint glenoid labrum
hip joint acetabular labrum
The menisci of the medial and lateral knee joints.
The point at which tendons and ligaments connect to bone.
