How prosthetic design influences knee kinematics: a narrative review of tibiofemoral kinematics of healthy and joint-replaced knees

Towards the understanding of lubrication mechanisms in total knee replacements – Part I: Experimental investigations

“…Nevertheless, it should be noted that wear is influenced not only by lubrication and load. Other factors such as oxidation [13], position of the knee axis of rotation [74], or implant instability [75] have to be taken into account. Notwithstanding, lubrication seems to be an important contributing factor, which definitely cannot be neglected.…”
