Abstract
The relevance of fluid-film lubrication, elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication and 'tribolayers' for hip bearings has been the subject of much debate (Fisher 2012). However, knowledge of the thickness and distribution of proteins in and around the wear zone of metal-on-polyethylene (MPE) bearings is scant. The efficacy of protein lubrication with metal-on-metal bearings (MOM) is in discovery.
