since prosthetic meniscal replacement may be performed in the setting of normal articular cartilage , a prosthesis will be required to match the exact joint configuration , induce the same lubricity , produce the same coefficient of friction , and absorb and dampen the same joint forces ( without incurring significant creep or abrasion ) as does the normal meniscus .
