Abstract:
An artificial cartilage was invented based on JOINT-ELECTRICITY THEORY that first in the world created in 2010, and verified in 2011, both by the present inventor, Sue-May Kang. The said artificial cartilage has sleek joint-surface and individualized appropriate shape, is made of proper piezoelectric material, and to be placed into the indication-joints, including at least the natural joints with lack or defect in cartilage and artificial joints, those suffering from impairment in generating Joint-Electricity. After surgical placement (yet, any surgery is not included in the present invention), it can be subjected to the dynamic force within the said joint in its effective range, and thus, continuously generate intra-articular electricity (is the so-called Joint-Electricity), and consequently supplements the wanted Joint-Electricity to the said joint and its related muscles. Using the said artificial cartilage can remarkably reduce the pains, increase muscular strength, and improve motor functions, when comparing to that without.

Claim (Index 1):
The present invention is an artificial cartilage capable of supplementing Joint-Electricity, the said Joint-Electricity is defined in the intra-articular electricity that generated by the joint-cartilage, and is required by the joint-structure tissues of the said joint and its related muscles for maintaining their normal state, the said artificial cartilage of the present invention has the indication-joints including artificial joints and the natural joints those with lack or defect in cartilage, the human joints those suffering from impairment in generating Joint-Electricity, the said artificial cartilage has a sleek joint-surface and individualized appropriate shape, and is made of the proper piezoelectric material, wherein, the said proper piezoelectric material is defined in the material with the properties of biocompatibility and the piezoelectricity that with a large enough range of piezoelectric reactivity, which is defined in that it can make the said artificial cartilage to have large enough range of piezoelectric reactivity that at least larger than the estimated range of the dynamic force within the target individual indication-joint after the implanting proper surgery, yet, any surgery is not included in the present invention.
