Which statement is false regarding the menisci? Group of answer choices The menisci have poor vascularity which affects healing, making it a challenge. The menisci act as shock absorbers in the knee and help distribute joint forces within the knee. The lateral meniscus is intimately attached to the lateral collateral ligament. The menisci make the flat surface of the tibia more congruent with the femoral condyles.
