Abstract
PurposeIn the present study, a systematic histological analysis of the glenohumeral joint capsule was conducted. Materials and methods12 cadaveric shoulders were examined. Inclusion criteria were: 1) intact joint capsule and 2) fixation in neutral position. The tissue samples were Elastica Hematoxylin-van-Gieson-(ElHvG) stained and diameter, quantity, and distribution patterns were analyzed. ResultsWe detected a new layer (elastic boundary layer, EBL) between the synovial and fibrous membrane. The elastic fibres of the EBL differ considerably in diameter, quantity, and distribution pattern. ConclusionsA previously undescribed layer was noticed, which we named elastic boundary layer for now.
