Elastohydrodynamic lubrication and wear modelling of the knee joint replacements with surface topography

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication and wear modelling of the knee joint replacements with surface topography

This numerical study predicted wear of lubricated total knee replacements with the existing of textured surface and the possibility of surface designs to reduce wear. In the first part, a wear model of metal-on-polyethylene total knee replacement was developed. The medial and lateral knee compartmen...
