Hydrostatic and boundary lubrication of joints; nature of boundary lubricant.
Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja, 2012 A very low coefficient of friction in joints makes it difficult to define clearly the mechanism of cartilage lubrication. The present paper describes the two currently predominant and mutually complementary views aiming to elucidate this mechanism. The first mechanism, referred to as hydrostatic lubrication, involves interstitial fluid pressurization ...

Tribology of enzymatically degraded cartilage mimicking early osteoarthritis
Friction, 2023 Healthy cartilage is a water-filled super lubricious tissue. Collagen type II provides it structural stability, and proteoglycans absorb water to keep the cartilage in a swollen condition, providing it the ability to creep and provide weeping lubrication.
