Original abstract
Durability of artificial hip joints is one of the most challenging task in the area of biotribology. As the number of surgeries still increases, it is necessary to better understand lubrication performance of replacements to avoid wear of rubbing surfaces eventually leading to implant failure. Although several studies provided satisfactory analysis about the wear, little is known about the lubrication mechanisms inside the contact. Therefore the motivation of our study is to better understand synovial fluid lubrication mechanisms in hip joint replacements.
