Rapid Prototyping for In Vitro Knee Rig Investigations of Prosthetized Knee Biomechanics: Comparison with Cobalt-Chromium Alloy Implant Material

Figure 2

Schematic setting of the ring-on-disc rig with the demonstration of the axial compression force and the friction torque as well as the tested material combinations. The rotation of the ring occurs about the rotation axis, which is identic to the axial load transmission.
