Age-Related Changes of Elastic Fibers in Shoulder Capsule of Patients with Glenohumeral Instability: A Pilot Study

Figure 3

Shoulder articular capsule of an 18-year-old patient affected with MDI. Many elastic fibers are homogeneously distributed and arranged in bundles with a course parallel to collagen fibers, showing a crimp feature (Verhoeff’s iron hematoxylin, staining, and original magnification, x 400; elastic fibers are stained in violet or purple, whereas collagen is in red).
