The articular capsule (capsular ligament) is strong and dense.

"The capsular ligament is torn a little.

Capsular ligaments are part of the articular capsule that surrounds synovial joints.

Studies suggest that the mid-third capsular ligament functions as a secondary varus stabilizer in the knee.

These structures which can be repaired include the biceps femoris and mid-third lateral capsular ligament.

Passive flexion is further limited by tension in the posterior capsular ligament and in triceps brachii.

However, some bundles among these fibers run obliquely, thicken and strengthen the capsule, and are referred to as the capsular ligament.

The anterior arm attaches to the tibia at the same site as the mid-third lateral capsular ligament and is often injured in Segond fractures.

In contrast to the medial collateral ligament, it is fused with neither the capsular ligament nor the lateral meniscus.

Arthroscopic surgery techniques may be used to repair the glenoidal labrum, capsular ligaments, biceps long head anchor or SLAP lesion and/or to tighten the shoulder capsule.

"A retrolisthesis hyperloads at least one disc and puts shearing forces of the anterior longtitudinal ligament, the annular rings, nucleus pulposus, cartilage end plates and capsular ligaments.

These ligaments have also been called the medial collateral ligament (MCL), tibial collateral ligament, mid-third capsular ligament, and oblique fibers of the sMCL, respectively.

The articular capsule of the knee joint (commonly referred to as capsular ligament) is wide and lax; thin in front and at the side; and contains the patella ("knee cap"), ligaments, menisci, and bursae.

Lower grades at 30 are more suggestive of partial tears of the FCL or mid-third lateral capsular ligament, while higher grades indicate complete tears of the FCL and damage to other posterolateral structures.

The articular capsule (capsular ligament) is a thin, loose envelope, attached above to the circumference of the mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle immediately in front; below, to the neck of the condyle of the mandible.

The specific structures that can be evaluated are the popliteus tendon attachment on the femur, the popliteomensical fascicles, the coronary ligament of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and the meniscofemoral and meniscotibial portions of the mid-third lateral capsular ligament.
