Abstract
Histological and ultrastructural studies on the medial meniscus in the human knee joint show that nerve fibres, both myelinated and unmyelinated, extend from the periarticular plexus into the meniscus as far as the intermediate third. These neural elements are not exclusively paravascular in position and it is reasonable to postulate a function other than vasomotor or vasosensory for them.Keywords
