The paper gives the comparison of results of total joint artificiant wear measurement with simulation carried out using the knowledge of its mechanical wear. The used methods are the 3D scaning profilometry topografie and Fourier profilometry. The results are compared with the latest used measurement method - gravimetry. The uncertainties of methods are not introduced in text but only the primary results of measurements, which are the basic of methodology of verification of possibility of application of these methods for the given purpose.
