Abstract

This article focuses on the postnatal morphogenesis of the marginal synovium, a transitional zone in the joint important for cartilage repair and pathology, studied in the hip joints of Wistar rats. The research documents a gradual decrease in cell number alongside increases in elastic and arranged collagen fibers from birth to the 90th day, with vessel distribution showing an undulatory pattern. These findings highlight the marginal synovium's unique structural role as a nonspecific barrier between the joint capsule and articular cartilage, contributing to joint integrity. Understanding these developmental patterns may aid future analyses of pathological changes in this joint region.
