New surface structure with regular patterning for the frictional surfaces of the artificial joints was designed to improve the wear problems. The lubrication properties for the cup ( ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, UHMWPE) vs. ball ( Co-Cr alloy) were studied to evaluate the wear and surface roughness. The surface structure is the dents pattern which has diameter of 0.5mm, pitch of 1.2mm. In this study, such surface patterns were applied to artificial hip joints, and the effects of regular patterning on the frictional surface were investigated by using a joint simulator. The amount of wear of the cup that was in contact with the patterned head was only half that of the cup that was in contact with the non-patterned head, and the surface roughness of the cup with a non-patterned head was three-times greater than that of the cup with a patterned head. These results demonstrates that the lubrication properties can be improved by patterning of the frictional surface of the artificial joint. Consequently, the life of the artificial joint can be extended by the patterning on the frictional surfaces.
