An articular capsule (or joint capsule) is an envelope surrounding a synovial joint.^[1]

Layers[edit source | edit]

Each capsule consists of two layers:

an outer layer (stratum fibrosum) composed of avascular white fibrous tissue
an inner layer (stratum synoviale) which is a secreting layer, and is usually described separately as the synovial membrane.

On the inside of the capsule, articular cartilage covers the end surfaces of the bones that articulate within that joint.

The outer layer is highly innervated by the same nerves which perforate through the adjacent muscles associated with the joint.

Fibrous membrane[edit source | edit]

The fibrous membrane of articular capsule (fibrous capsule) is attached to the whole circumference of the articular end of each bone entering into the joint, and thus entirely surrounds the articulation.

Pathology[edit source | edit]

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule becomes inflamed.

Plica Syndrome is a disorder in which the synovial plica becomes inflamed and causes abnormal biomechanics in the knee.

The effect of intraarticular hydraulic distension (IHD) for a painful stiff shoulder (or adhesive capsulitis) has been affirmed, but whether rupturing the joint capsule during this process is beneficial remains controversial. By monitoring real-time pressure-volume (PV) profiles during IHD, we could

The origin for complex intraneural cysts remains controversial despite recent emerging evidence to support their articular origin. The coexistence of intraneural and adventitial cysts has been described due to the proximate neurovascular bundle, i.e., the articular (neural) branch and vessels at the

… MRI scans showed small region of osteonecrosis in the cephalic portion of the antero-medial part of the humerus, but X-rays showed no deformity of articular surface or arthritic changes. … Recently, some reports showed arthroscopically assisted reduction was useful in the point that it enabled the evaluation of torn posterior capsule or labrum immediately after the successful reduction. …
