During an osteology lecture about the bones of the leg, the professor mentioned that the posterior (i think it was the posterior at least, I didn't write my notes down very well) margins of the lateral and tibial platues at the articular surface are different; the medial one's is sharper, and the lateral one's is smoother, rounder, or, as he put it, "sloppier", and this helps give more motility to the lateral meniscus and makes its injuries less likely. It also apparently helps the motion range of the knee joint.
I can't seem to be able to find any article or book that talks about this (I've checked Snell's, Gray's and Grant's anatomy books), so I was wondering if this is really a thing.
