Microstructural analysis on the innervation of the anterior, medial, and lateral human hip capsule: Preliminary evidence on its neuromechanical contribution

Capsular repair aims to minimize damage to the hip joint capsular complex (HJCC) and subsequent dislocation risk following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Numerous explanations for its success have been advocated, including neuromuscular feedback loops originating from within the intact HJCC. This research investigates the hypothesis that the HJCC contributes to hip joint stability by analyzing HJCC innervation.
