Anatomical preparation, Pirogov's saw-cuts and serial histotopographic sections, made across the atlantooccipital and atlantoaxial joints in the sagittal, frontal and horizontal planes in 35 corpses have been used in reconstructing and studying the meniscoid structures in the area of the joints mentioned. The meniscoids are composed of fine fibrillar connective tissue with a large amount of fat and vessels. The meniscoid has a triangle form, its base consisting of collagenous fibers, gradually transfers into the articular capsule, and its apex is directed into the articular cavity. The meniscoid, surrounding the tooth of the axial vertebra, at the sides passes into the medial parts of the atlantoocipital and lateral atlantoaxial joints, forming a single meniscoid complex of the joints studied. A tight connection is stated between the meniscoids and the perineural formations of the I and II cervical nerves and with the vertebral vessels.

We propose a meniscoid nested anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (MAF), wherein the fourfold rotational symmetry structure enables high birefringence and low loss in dual-wavelength range. Numerical investigation and simulation for variations in wall thickness along orthogonal directions are conducted, through which a formulated optimization criterion revealing the relationship between minimum difference in wall thickness and birefringence of 10 is obtained. A parameter of beat length to loss ratio η is defined to evaluate MAF performance with respect to birefringence and confinement loss (CL).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing the composition of cervical-spine meniscoids, which may be important for understanding neck pain.
- Four embalmed cadaver necks were analyzed; meniscoids were classified via MRI and then examined histologically to compare results.
- The findings show only a fair agreement between MRI classifications and actual histological compositions, suggesting that MRI may not be a reliable method for assessing meniscoid composition in a clinical setting.

Congenital abnormalities of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are rare and could be mistaken for a traumatic lesion. It is important to recognize these anatomical variations and to realize they do not always require treatment. An incidental finding of an atraumatic bucket handle abnormality of the TFCC in a 15-year-old male, who was treated arthroscopically for dorsal wrist pain.
