The difference between synovial capsule and articular capsule

1, position difference: Synovial sac: Synovial sac is located in the muscle space around the joint. Similar to the protective pad, it exists between the muscles and ligaments around the joint, providing protection and cushioning for the joint. Synovial sac contains synovial tissue, which can secrete synovial fluid and reduce joint friction. Joint capsule: Joint capsule is a membrane capsule composed of connective tissue, which is attached around the joint. The joint is completely wrapped and fixed to form a sealed cavity to protect the internal structure of the joint. The joint capsule can limit the range of motion and stabilize the joint.

2, the difference between treatment methods: synovial sac: for the treatment of synovial sac, the usual way is to release the operation. This kind of operation can relieve the tension of synovial sac by cutting, and improve the movement and function of joints. Relaxation can relieve the pressure of synovial sac and relieve pain and discomfort. Joint capsule: There are many treatments for joint capsule. For some joint capsule diseases or injuries, conservative treatment will be taken, such as drug therapy and physical therapy. Some serious joint capsule problems need surgical treatment, such as joint capsule repair and joint capsule replacement.
