Abstract

In posttraumatic coxarthrosis, on the basis of morphological changes in the capsule of the hip joint, changes in the ligamentous apparatus of the joint are observed on the part of the components that make up the joint capsule. In particular, the morphological substrate due to post-traumatic coxarthrosis develops with destructive-dysregenerative changes in the ligaments of the thigh and a sharp accumulation of acid mucopolysaccharides between the fibers, tearing of the fibers, the development of reactive changes around the synovial pocket, and the development of pathological thickening foci.
As a result, the joint capsule does not swell, becomes sclerosed, and is clinically manifested by rotation of the thigh inward or outward.
