Abstract
Objective－To clarify the exact contributions of nerves supplying the canine hip joint capsule for clinical application.
Animals－Cadavers of six healthy mongrel dogs.
Procedures－The pelvises and hind limbs of canine cadavers were dissected and fixed in formaldehyde. Innervation of the joint capsule was investigated with the aid of an operative microscope.
Results－The canine hip joint capsule was found to receive the articular nerve fibers of femoral, obturator, cranial gluteal and sciatic nerves from the cranioventral, caudoventral, craniolateral and dorsolateral directions, respectively. No branch originated from the caudal gluteal nerve was observed innervating the hip joint capsule.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance－The canine hip joint capsule is innervated by the articular branches of four nerves. The data in this report provides useful information for canine hip joint clinical researches including pain analysis with hip disorder and surgical nerve blockade to relieve hip pain.
