What lubricates a hip resurfacing?
The lubricant is called synovial fluid. This lubricates a hip replacement or any other artificial joint in the human body. Synovial fluid is a thick, greasy liquid that is produced by cells that line the joint cavities. It reduces friction in the joint, just like grease in an automobile suspension joint. Synovial fluid enters the space between the implant’s ball and socket joint to help lubricate its movement as you move your hip.
