• Tribology of hip joints is reviewed, covering a full spectrum from natural hip joints to total hip replacements, as well as tissue engineered articular cartilage. The importance of integrated tribological studies of contact mechanics, friction, wear and lubrication, as well as fully coupled with biological considerations, has been emphasized. The exact lubrication mechanism in natural hip joints is still not clear, although the unique biphasic characteristics of articular cartilage play an important role. Tribological studies of bearing surfaces for artificial hip joint replacements are important in developing and optimizing alternative material combinations to conventional polyethylene. Recently developed tissue engineered articular cartilage has been shown to be inadequate as far as the tribological property is concerned.
