Recent studies have shown the existence of two types of discontinuous lipid structures in the synovial fluid lubricant film: (i) the lipid multilayers which form the synovial fluidcartilage interface [Purbach, Clin.Orthop.Relat.Res.2002], and (ii) lipid vesicles present within lubricant films [Watanabe, Med.Electron.Microsc.2000]. The size of these lipid vesicles, compared to the thickness of the lubricant film estimated by hydrodynamics lubrication models [Jin and Dowson, ProcI.MEJ.J.Eng.Tribol.2005], is the subject of a controversy. The aim of this study was to analyze the role of discontinuous lipid structures in the lubrication mechanism in healthy and pathological joints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
