Fibrocartilage
Hyaline cartilage is the white shiny gristle at the end of long bones. This cartilage has very poor healing potential, and efforts to get it to repair itself frequently end up with a similar, but poorer, material called 'fibrocartilage'.
Fibrocartilage is also the material of which the knee meniscus is constructed.
