..., spinal fusion had been a “gold standard” for the treatment of degenerative disc disease and total disc replacement that was popularized approximately three decades ago. Synovial fluids have been excellent natural lubricants of synovial joints, with varying properties depending on the conditions...

... ( Ref 2 ). Currently, one of the main achievements in the field of arthroplasty is total joint replacement (TJR), where the entire load-bearing joint (mainly in the knee, hip, or shoulder) is replaced surgically by ceramic, metal, or polymeric artificial materials. As stated earlier, the problem...

... since the mid-1930s. Although there is a preference for conservative treatments (weight loss, physical therapy, drug therapy), surgery is often indicated to alleviate these degenerative conditions by total joint replacement, for example, which not only alleviates pain but also improves ambulation...

... is that of the knee/hip joint replacement using UHMWPE ( Ref 44 , 45 ). UHMWPE is widely used in making acetabular sockets for hip joints that normally slide against a ceramic ball. The presence of synovial body fluid ensures low friction by lubricating the surfaces. This fluid does not seem to chemically affect...
