In Vitro Wear Behavior of Knee Implants at Different Load Levels: The Impact of the Test Fluid

In Vitro Wear Behavior of Knee Implants at Different Load Levels: The Impact of the Test Fluid

Calf serum is defined as a test fluid for in vitro knee wear simulation studies in the ISO standard. However, protein degradation typically occurs during in vitro wear simulation. The current study should indicate whether increased loads change the rheological properties of the test fluid and may, t...
