Experimental study on boundary lubricity of superficial area of articular cartilage and synovial fluid by Wenxiao Li, Takehiro Morita, Yoshinori Sawae

“…For the low COF group of specimens, all four treatments increased the COF in PBS to different extents, and fluorescence microscopy revealed that the integrity of the cartilage surface was deteriorated by treatments. This means that the intact cartilage surface had lubricating constituents to maintain low friction, and the removal of such constituents resulted in the loss of the intrinsic boundary lubricity of the cartilage surface. …”
