The phrase "articulate against" is not commonly used in written English and may not convey the intended meaning clearly.
It could be used when expressing a clear and coherent opposition to something, but it is more typical to use "articulate" in a positive context, such as expressing ideas or opinions clearly.
Example: "During the debate, she was able to articulate against the proposed policy effectively."
Alternatives: "speak out against" or "express opposition to".
A pair of occipital condyles on the skull that articulate against shallow concavities on the anterior face of the vertebra permits a nodding movement of the head.
Fernström's work also provides some evidence, albeit extremely limited, that metallic disc replacement components were biocompatible when implanted as bearing materials in the intervertebral disc space to articulate against the end plates.
The Charité design, formally known as the SB Charite artificial disc by its inventors, basically consists of two metallic end plates fixed to the adjacent vertebral bodies, which articulate against a central core fabricated from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).
They really fear and are very articulate against the "too big to fail" crowd.
These devices consist of a metallic/ceramic ball articulating against a polyethylene or metallic/ceramic hemispherical cup.
Introduced clinically in November 1962 by Sir John Charnley, UHMWPE articulating against a metallic femoral head remains the gold standard bearing surface combination for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
To mimic the tribological conditions in a TKR, polished cobalt chromium (CoCr) spheres were articulated against flat, polished UHMWPE disks with physiologically relevant loading, speed, and lubrication environments.
PVA is not assumed to be biodegradable; however, depending on the level of physical and/or chemical crosslinking it may illicit dissolution either during storage in water or during in vivo use when articulating against cartilage.
This study was aimed at investigating the effects of the transfer of metallic debris during an in vitro wear test on ceramic femoral heads articulating against metallic acetabular cups.
Condyles were articulated against PCU 80A discs (Bionate® I and Bionate® II) (configuration 1) and the results arising from these tests were compared to those recorded during the sliding of PCU pins against cartilage plates (configuration 2).
Charnley's second, interim design for a total hip replacement included an acetabular component of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) articulating against a metallic femoral head from a cemented Austin Moore or Thompson prosthesis.
