    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des études mécaniques ont montré la résistance importante des capsules articulaires du rachis cervical inférieur, plus particulièrement dans leur portion ventro-latérale. Le but de cette étude est d'examiner la structure des capsules afin de rechercher une correspondance entre propriétés biomécaniques et anatomie descriptive. Dix sections transversales et 4 sections sagittales réalisées à partir de 6 sujets anatomiques ont été examinées sous microscope photonique aux grossissements X25 jusqu'à X250. La préparation histologique a comporté une coloration standard du tissu conjonctif et une coloration spécifique des fibres élastiques. Les paramètres analysés ont été l'épaisseur de la capsule dans les différents quadrants de sa circomférence, la topographie et la direction des fibres élastiques rencontrées. Les résultats montrent une portion ventro-latérale épaisse, renforcée par des fibres élastiques obliques. La portion dorsale est fine. Les auteurs suggèrent que l'anatomie descriptive des capsules articulaires confirme leurs propriétés mécaniques. Ils remarquent que le rôle de la portion ventro-latérale peut être associé à celui du ligament longitudinal postérieur dans la stabilité de l'unité fonctionnelle cervicale inférieure.
    Notes: Summary Mechanical studies have shown the major strength of the joint capsules of the lower cervical spine, especially in its ventrolateral part. The aim of this study was to examine the structure of the joint capsules in order to discover if there is a correspondence between biomechanical properties and descriptive anatomy. Ten transverse sections and 4 sagittal sections obtained from 6 cadavers were observed under light microscopy at X 25 to X 250 magnification. Standard stains and specific elastic fiber stain were used for histologic preparation. The data were the thickness of the joint capsules in the different quadrants, and the topography and direction of the elastic fibers. The results showed that the ventrolateral part of the joint capsules is thick and reinforced by oblique elastic fibers. The dorsal part is thin. The authors suggest that the descriptive anatomy of the joint capsules confirms their mechanical properties. They note that the role of the ventrolateral part is supplemented by that of the posterior longitudinal ligament for the stability of the functional cervical spinal unit.
