Osteoarthritis initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the
joint
. This makes movement more
difficult than usual, leading
to pain and stiffness. Once the
cartilage lining starts to
roughen and thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to
work harder.
3 Explain why titanium is used to make artificial joints.
Because they show excellent corrosion
resistance and good
hard-tissue compatibility
(bone formation
and bone bonding
ability)
4 Explain why the surfaces of artificial joints must be very smooth.
The main reason for replacing any arthritic joint with an artificial joint is
to stop the bones from rubbing
against each other. This rubbing causes pain.
