Development and design of a test device for cartilage wear studies
Articular cartilage is a material with the appearance of simplicity and uniformity, but the chemical and biological structure of this material is very complex and not yet known in every detail. Our knowledge of cartilage wear behavior is limited and needs to be enlarged. Knowledge in this area …

Biotribology: The Effect of Lubricant and Load on Articular Cartilage Wear and Friction
This paper presents a biotribological study on cartilage wear and friction, using a system of cartilage-on-stainless steel. This study is a part of the ongoing biotribology research by Dr. Furey at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Two loads (65 N and 20 N) and three …

Biotribology: Studies of the Effects of Biochemical Environments on the Wear and Damage of Articular Cartilage
… It is specifically concerned with the friction, wear and lubrication of these surfaces. Although tribology has conventionally been associated with the surface interaction of mechanical systems, concepts of tribology have also been important in the study of biological systems. Biotribology is one …

Biotribology: articular cartilage friction, wear, and lubrication
… and refined techniques for the in vitro study of cartilage-on-cartilage friction, deformation, and wear. Preliminary results of in vitro cartilage-on- cartilage experiments with emphasis on wear and biochemistry are presented. Cartilage-bone specimens were obtained from the stifle joints of steers …

A Comparison of the Wear Resistance of Normal, Degenerate, and Repaired Human Articular Cartilage
… of arthritis, osteoarthritis, is caused by the "wear and tear" of articular cartilage on the surface of bones in synovial joints. It is a chronic problem that is slowed with different types of therapies, including pharmaceutical, nutritional and surgical, but to date the wearing down of the …

Kneeling function following total knee arthroplasty
… patient-specific factors, the extent of wear on RPC (Retro patellar Cartilage), postoperative AKP (Anterior Knee Pain) and post-operative ROM (Range of Motion). Thus a consecutive series of TKA patients were assessed to test the afore-mentioned hypothesis. In particular, the thesis has …

Mixed and boundary lubrication in synovial joints
… 90% of the time synovial joints and articular cartilage undergo very little motion, and these periods are commonly associated with significant amounts of prolonged loading. During these periods the lubricating films are too thin to separate the opposing articular cartilage surfaces and direct …
