Cartilage wear simulation models for surface and spacer hemiarthroplasty and tissue engineering

Understanding the wear of the biomaterial/cartilage interface is vital in the development of more satisfactory materials for use in the clinical repair of worn or damaged synovial joints. The aims of this study were to investigate a wide range of biphasic hydrogels as potential chondroplasty materia...
