Numerous studies reported ACL is rich in mechanoreceptors which contribute in proprioceptive function. One study on 29 ACL remnant reported that there are mechanoreceptors including Ruffini, Pacini receptors, Golgi tendon organ-like receptors and free nerves endings in the remnant and showed the numbers of mechanoreceptors is significantly related to joint sense accuracy. Another study performed by same group of researchers reported that a somatosensory evoked potential could be recorded in ACL remnants after electrical stimulation, confirmed original sensory neurons are preserved to certain extent, which may help graft neuralization and restoration of knee function. This further echos with various studies that, in ACL-deficit knee, loss of proprioceptive function is reported with corelation to the number of mechanoreceptors. At a result, it comes up with an idea that preserving the ACL remnant should help maintaining or facilitating proprioceptive function, by the operation technique of ACL augmentation.
