1、Designation: F2979 14Standard Guide forCharacterization of Wear from the Articulating Surfaces inRetrieved Metal-on-Metal and other Hard-on-Hard HipProstheses1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2979; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal ado
2、ption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide specifies a method to measure the in-vivowear of explanted M
3、etal-on-Metal (MoM) and other “hard”(e.g., ceramic) hip components. The guide covers the measure-ment of acetabular cups and femoral heads using a dimensionalchange method and is applicable to all prosthetic hip types,including stemmed (modular) and resurfacing hip systems.1.2 The methods specified
4、in this guide are not applicablefor measuring the in-vivo wear from non-articulating surfaces,for example modular connections (at the stem/neck, neck/heador cup liner/shell interface) or at acetabular cup rim.1.3 The parameters (wear depth and volumetric wear)evaluated and reported in this guide are
5、 estimated from theassumed as-manufactured shape of the components. The wearvolume is calculated using a numerical integration method andthe wear depth is the difference between the assumed as-manufactured shape and the measured surface.1.4 This guide covers the measurement of the depth of wearand t
6、he volumetric wear using a Coordinate Measuring Ma-chine (CMM) and the depth of wear using an RoundnessMachine. Other metrology measurement equipment may beused to measure the wear depth or volume if the resolution andaccuracy of the measurements are comparable with the instru-ments detailed in this
7、 standard. The measurement and analysisprotocols should be based on those described in this standard.1.5 This guide is applicable to hip joints which are nomi-nally spherical at the time of manufacture. Form deviationsresulting from manufacturing or deformation may occur andmay necessitate the use o
8、f a non-spherical surface to representthe unworn surface of the component. Hip joints designed withasymmetry are considered beyond the scope of this guide,although the principles and techniques may be applicable to thecharacterization of wear from the articulating surfaces.1.6 This guide is intended
9、 as an extension toASTM F561 asa Stage II nondestructive test.1.7 This standard may involve hazardous materials, opera-tions and equipment. As a precautionary measure, explanteddevices should be sterilized or disinfected by an appropriatemeans that does not adversely affect the implant or theassocia
10、ted tissue that may be the subject of subsequentanalysis. A detailed discussion of precautions to be used inhandling human tissues can be found in ISO 12891-1. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof
11、this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

Analysis of CMM Measurements6.1 Fit the assumed unworn shape of the component.Published studies have used ellipsoids, spheres or nurbsprofiles (6-13) to represent the unworn (but possible deformed)shape of the hip component. The assumed unworn shapeshould be fitted to the measured data poin
38、ts in the unwornregions, excluding the data points that are within the wornregion. Several of the published methods use a two stage or aniterative process to fit the surface and exclude worn regionsfrom the surface fit (6-13).NOTE 4ASTM F2033 specifies that the maximum departure fromroundness for me
39、tallic components shall not be greater than 5 m for theacetabular component and 5 m for the femoral component using a leastsquares or Minimum Zone Centre Method. Due to these deviations, andpossible deformation during implantation or revision procedures, fitting asphere to the unworn data points mig
40、ht result in significant errors in thecalculated wear values. In some cases, ellipsoids and other shapes havebeen shown to better represent the unworn shape of MoM hip componentsthan a simple sphere (10).6.2 Check the fit of the assumed unworn shape by calculat-ing the Root Mean Square (RMS) error b
41、etween the assumedunworn shape and the measured data points in the unwornregion of the hip component (9). If the calculated RMS errorexceeds 2 m, the fit and the assumed shape shall be modifiedto reduce the error.6.3 Visually check the fit of the assumed unworn shape bylooking at a graphical illustr
42、ation of the deviations from theassumed unworn shape in the unworn regions of the compo-nent. The color scale should be set to optimize these deviations,not the appearance of the worn regions.6.4 If the wear area is not wholly captured within themeasurement region and extends below the equator of th
43、e headthen the measurement shall be repeated to include the wholearea of the wear area.6.5 The maximum depth of wear shall be taken as themaximum deviation between a point on the measured wornsurface and a point on the assumed unworn articular surfacealong a line normal to the assumed unworn articul
44、ar surface.6.6 Use a numerical method to calculate the wear volumeover the worn regions of the component by calculating thevolume between the assumed unworn shape of the componentand the worn region.NOTE 5Differences in algorithms used to calculate the wear volumemay result in variations in the wear
45、 volumes. Scratching, indentations anddeformation attributed to the explantation process and/or handling afterFIG. 2 Schematic Diagram Showing Pattern of Data Points for CMM Measurement of the Acetabular CupF2979 143explantation should not be included in the wear depth and volumeestimates.6.7 The me
46、asurement method and analysis algorithm usedshould be described in detail in the report and suitablyvalidated. Suitable validation methods may include the mea-surement of a reference sphere (14), calculation of the wearfrom “ideal” datasets with mathematically generated wearscars, comparison of grav
