## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether the synovial fluid (SF) constituents hyaluronan (HA), proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), and surfaceβactive phospholipids (SAPL) contribute to boundary lubrication, either independently or additively, at an articular cartilageβcartilage interface. ## Methods Car
Purified human umbilical hyaluronate and a commercial preparation of rooster comb hyaluronate (Healon) intended for intra-articular viscosupplementation did not demonstrate the same degree of boundarylubricating ability as bovine synovial fluid or its purified lubricating mucin, lubricin (p < 0.01).
