What are some current biomedical issues? A prominent issue is the human body. We have our design flaws, and biomedical engineers are working to fix that.
The knee uses 2 bones that come together in some cartilage and can bend, with only 1 knee cap for support. This can cause problems because the tissue can get worn down.
Such as? Some say a ball and socket knee joint could completely replace that part of the human body and eliminate knee pain, while others say metal knee caps should suffice.
I believe the ball and socket joint is a great idea because of the sturdiness of that kind of connection, but only if we are able to lubricate the joint.
