Seperate the articulating surfaces.
Makes the joint more stable
minimizes wear and tear on joint surfaces
Renal Capsule.
The two layers that make up the fibrous capsule is what reinforces the capsule. The stratum fibrosum and the stratum synovial are what prevents the joint from dislocating.
from interior to exterior: fibrous capsule, perirenal fat capsule and renal fascia. :)

A dense fibrous capsule surrounds the prostate gland
Synovial joints have a fibrous articular capsule lined with synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity.
Synovial joints, such as the knee or shoulder, have a fibrous capsule lined with synovial membrane. This membrane secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage surfaces. The joint capsule helps provide stability and support to the joint.
The dense fibrous connective tissue that encloses a joint is known as the joint capsule. This capsule consists of an outer fibrous layer that provides stability and support, and an inner synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid for lubrication. The joint capsule helps maintain the integrity of the joint while allowing for movement. It also plays a role in protecting the joint from external forces.
The renal capsule is an inner fibrous membrane that surrounds the kidney and prevents infections from entering the kidney.
