Fourteen menisci from seven anatomic specimens were examined to identify their innervation. After staining by a modified gold chloride method, the menisci were sectioned on a sliding microtome and were studied under a light microscope. Free nerve endings in the peripheral and the medial thirds of the meniscal body were identified, and three types of encapsulated mechanoreceptors were found in the anterior and posterior horns. Based on these findings and a review of the relevant literature, it is considered that menisci both receive and transmit proprioceptive information. Therefore, they not only are stabilizers of this joint, but also contribute to the function of deep sensitivity.
对来自七个解剖标本的14个半月板进行检查以确定其神经支配情况。采用改良的氯化金法染色后，在滑动切片机上对半月板进行切片，并在光学显微镜下进行研究。在半月板体部的周边和内侧三分之一处发现了游离神经末梢，在前角和后角发现了三种类型的被囊化机械感受器。基于这些发现并回顾相关文献，认为半月板既接收又传递本体感觉信息。因此，它们不仅是该关节的稳定器，而且对深度感觉功能也有贡献。
