Fine vascular anatomy of adult rabbit knee ligaments.
1990
The microvascular anatomy of discrete knee ligaments in adult rabbits is described. Epiligamentous plexuses give rise to a limited number of vessels which penetrate deeply into ligament substance. Intraligamentous vessels are usually longitudinally orientated, widely separated linear anastomoses but occasionally complex glomus-like configurations are present. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to other articular connective tissues and to the possible roles of the intraligamentous microvasculature.
