Analysis of Mechanoreceptors and Free Nerve Endings in the Lateral Collateral Ligament of the Elbow Using Immunofluorescence and Confocal Microscopy
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the elbow is an essential static stabilizer against varus and posterolateral rotatory forces. It is hypothesized that injury to the LCL might impair elbow proprioception, although direct evidence for this impairment remains limited and warrants further investigation. This study aimed to describe the morphology and distribution of mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings within the LCL.
