| In mammals the vertebral centra articulate by means of intervertebral disks of fibrocartilage. |
| The meniscus is a fibrocartilage semicircular located between the femur and tibia. |
| Chondrocalcinosis is asymptomatic and often seen in elderly patients, especially in joints with hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, such as the knee and wrist. |
| As stated previously, fibrocartilage has inferior mechanical and wear properties compared to native hyaline cartilage. |
| The two bone surfaces at the joint are both covered in hyaline cartilage and joined by strands of fibrocartilage. |
| Triangular fibrocartilage complex tenderness is best localized by palpating the hollow between the pisiform and ulnar styloid on the ulnar border of the wrist. |
