The cartilage surface in the postcollapse stage AVN of the femoral head was reported to resemble those of disuse conditions, which suggests that the damage could be reversible and offers the possibilities of success of head-sparing surgeries. By comparing the tribological properties of articular cartilage in AVN with that of osteoarthritis, the authors intended to understand the cartilage degeneration mechanism and reversibility of AVN. Human femoral heads with AVN were explanted from the hip replacement surgery of four patients (60\u201383 years old). Nine cylindrical cartilage samples (diameter, 5\u2009mm and height, 0.5\u2009mm) were sectioned from the weight-bearing areas of the femoral head with AVN, and the cartilage surface was classified according to the Outerbridge Classification System (AVN0, normal; AVN1, softening and swelling; and AVN2, partial thickness defect and fissuring). Tribological properties including surface roughness and frictional coefficients and histochemistry including Safranin O and lubricin staining were compared among the three groups. The mean surface roughness Rq values of AVN cartilage increased significantly with increasing Outerbridge stages: Rq\u2009=\u2009137\u2009\u00b1\u200926\u2009nm in AVN0, Rq\u2009=\u2009274\u2009\u00b1\u200949\u2009nm in AVN1, and Rq\u2009=\u2009452\u2009\u00b1\u200977\u2009nm in AVN2. Significant differences in Rq were observed among different Outerbridge stages in all cases (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001). The frictional coefficients (\u03bc) also increased with increasing Outerbridge stages. The frictional coefficient values were \u03bc\u2009=\u20090.115\u2009\u00b1\u20090.034 in AVN0, \u03bc\u2009=\u20090.143\u2009\u00b1\u20090.025 in AVN1, and \u03bc\u2009=\u20090.171\u2009\u00b1\u20090.039 in AVN2. Similarly to the statistical analysis of surface roughness, significant statistical differences were detected between different Outerbridge stages in all cases (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Both surface roughness and frictional coefficient of cartilage, which were linearly correlated, increased with increasing Outerbridge stages in postcollapse AVN. The underlying mechanism of these results can be related to proteoglycan loss within the articular cartilage that is also observed in osteoarthritis. With regard to the tribological properties, the cartilage degeneration mechanism in AVN was similar to that of osteoarthritis without reversibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1116\/1.4919020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,29]],"date-time":"2015-04-29T17:00:30Z","timestamp":1430326830000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Tribological changes in the articular cartilage of a human femoral head with avascular necrosis"],"prefix":"10.1116","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Eun-Min","family":"Seo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suman K.","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cong-Truyen","family":"Duong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City Mechanical Engineering Department, , Ho Chi Minh 70000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashish Ranjan","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tae-Woo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayyappan","family":"Vijayachandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark S.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Oxford Department of Engineering Science, , Oxford OX1 2JD, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myung Guk","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sungchan","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulsan, College of Medicine Department of Urology, , Ulsan 682-714, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kwanghoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pusan National University School of Mechanical Engineering, , Busan 609-735, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seonghun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pusan National University School of Mechanical Engineering, , Busan 609-735, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sang-Soo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital Institute for Skeletal Aging and Orthopedic Surgery, , Chuncheon 200-704, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062318062694900_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1053\/sarh.2002.33724b","volume":"32","year":"2002","journal-title":"Semin.
