Fibrocartilage comprises an amalgamation of cartilaginous tissue and white fibrous tissue in various extents. It exhibits toughness and flexibility due to the presence of the former constituent, and the property of elasticity due to the latter. It is only cartilage, which comprises both the type I and II collagen.
Fibrocartilage is found on the pubic symphysis, and on the soft tissue to bone attachments. Fibrocartilage is a dense, tough, and fibrous component, which assists in filling the torn part of the cartilage.
