When people refer to an arthritis problem or a wearing down of cartilage they are talking about the articular cartilage on the ends of the bone. They are not referring to the meniscus. The knee is made up of three bones and the surfaces of these bones are covered with articular cartilage. This cartilage allows the bones to glide against each other without causing damage to the bone. The meniscus sits between the articular cartilage surfaces of the bone to distribute weight and to improve the stability of the joint. These meniscus function to distribute your body weight across the knee joint. Without the meniscus, the weight of your body would be unevenly applied to the bones in your legs. This uneven weight distribution can cause excessive force in specific areas of bone leading to early arthritis of the knee.
