Most synovial joints have very low friction under dynamic loading, due to their structural features including cartilage and synovial fluid. The viscoelastic properties, fluid flow through, and surface decorating molecules of articular cartilage are keys to the efficient transmission of load through this soft tissue.

摘要

Most synovial joints have very low friction under dynamic loading, due to their structural features including cartilage and synovial fluid. The viscoelastic properties, fluid flow through, and surface decorating molecules of articular cartilage are keys to the efficient transmission of load through this soft tissue.
