By extension biotribology is usually defined as the tribological phenomena occurring in either the human body or in animals. Therefore, it is possible to consider tribological processes that may occur after implantation of an artificial device in the human body and the tribological processes naturally occurring in or on the tissues and organ of animals. Animals, including humans, possess a wide variety of sliding and frictional interfaces. TheISTEArtificial jointsTribologyBiomechanicsArtificial joints.Tribology.Biomechanics.617.5/80592Davim J.
