Neural Structures within Human Meniscofemoral Ligaments: A Cadaveric Study
Figure 1
(a) Haematoxylin and eosin staining (×810) of the tibial end of a PCL, showing a structure morphologically consistent with neural tissue (N) adjacent to collagen fibres (C) and blood vessels (B). (b) Haematoxylin and eosin stain (×370) of the meniscal end of an aMFL, showing a structure morphologically consistent with a nerve (N) adjacent to collagen fibres (C) and synovium (S). In this specimen the nerve was in the substance of the ligament close to the synovial surface.
