title: [Materials for joint replacement and friction and wear].
abstract: Debilitating diseases such as osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis, trauma and bone cancer can be treated by using prostheses. The wear resistance of materials for joint replacement can affect the service-quality and service-life of prostheses. Materials for joint replacement and friction and wear were briefly reviewed in this paper.
