N2 - objective of this study was to develop this novel tribological simulation and to use it to investigate the effects of choice of biomaterial and contact stress. It has been shown, that even under similar stress levels, materials may also make a difference and this will be investigated in future studies. The development of this tribological simulation of the natural knee is the first step towards the development of a whole knee model, which will be used to investigate the tribology of the whole knee in its healthy state, with hemiarthroplasty and with cartilage defect repairs, using different biomaterials such as hydrogels.
