- Additional information
- The significance of this study is that it showed a new concept of designing cartilage-inspired surface texturing to enhance lubricant film formation, which is robust regardless of the patient's physical factors, such as weight and quality of synovial fluid, thereby improving implant manufacturing technology. The dimple design concept of this international study led to a patent on the digitization and fabrication of custom surface topographies with submicron resolution ensued (US 10,875,248 B2).
