Potential Lubricating Mechanism of Hyaluronic Acid for a Reduction of Albumin-Mediated Friction in the Artificial Joint System
The average lifespan of artificial joints is 15–25 years, but it is still too short for young and active patients. Human synovial albumin is easily adsorbed on the surfaces of artificial joint materials and has increased friction when subjected to conformational changes. Most studies have focused on...
