So the problem with synthetic cartilage to better simulate a human hip we'd have to factor Cartiva and breast implants. What I'm suggesting is removing the plastic liner and replacing it with nothing. An artificial bone on bone. In human hips you find cartilage here. So why not just replace that with a synthetic cartilage? That would buffer wear of any liner or femoral head material. Wear would only involve synthetic cartilage material.

But look at cartiva. Seems like there's an issue with full bioabsorption here. Making the implant disappear. So maybe silicone material is a candidate but we find the complications with silicone breast implants. All these things are going to be recognized as a foreign body and dealt with accordingly. Also complications due to the facts it is in fact foreign material to the organism. In my opinion in order to make a synthetic cartilage work here they'd have to look at what seems to be stumbled upon here with SiNi. Elements similar enough to the components of the organism to not be recognized as a foreign body and cause no complication. The materials combined naturally like HA+calcium coatings seem to make sense with bone integration.

AND THEN they have to figure out how to affix it to make sure it stays in place. The only other possibility here in my mind is to trick the body into restoring the missing cartilage. Either on the natural join or an implant.

Until then SiNi continues to hold the edge here IMO. If you want to defeat SiNi in any manner. Instead of attempting to find novel means to mimic various properties. I would be focusing right here. AND STILL you might be looking at incorporating the properties of SiNi based on other aspects into these novel designs.
