A search for mechanoreceptors within the substance of the cruciate ligaments was undertaken using the modified gold-chloride technique. Abundant Pacinian, Vater-Pacini, Ruffini end organs and Ruffini-type receptors were found within the substance of the anterior and posterior cruciates. The receptors were innervated by axons of 5 to 10 micrometers in diameter penetrating from the synovium investing the ligaments. The findings support the contention that the cruciate ligaments have important mechanoreceptive and proprioceptive functions.
采用改良的氯化金技术对交叉韧带实质内的机械感受器进行了研究。在前交叉韧带和后交叉韧带实质内发现了丰富的帕西尼小体、瓦特-帕西尼小体、鲁菲尼终末器官和鲁菲尼型感受器。这些感受器由直径5至10微米的轴突支配，这些轴突从包绕韧带的滑膜穿入。这些发现支持了交叉韧带具有重要的机械感受和本体感受功能这一观点。
