- The hip capsule, ligaments, and parts of the acetabular labrum receive sensory innervation through the same nerve roots that supply the overlying muscles.
- The anterior capsule receives sensory fibers primarily from the femoral and obturator nerves.
- The posterior capsule receives sensory fibers from nerve roots originating from the sacral plexus, carried primarily through the sciatic and superior gluteal nerves.
