The purpose of our study is to investigate the tribological behavior of bovine cartilage sliding against different artificial surface materials utilized in partial joint resurfacing. We hypothesize that through tribological studies, we will find the artificial material that least damages the opposing cartilage under dynamic loading force, and we will attain a better understanding of the mechanism of cartilage wear.
