Summary of Test Method4.1 To measure load induced subsidence, a test method isproposed for the axial compression of intervertebral bodyfusion devices specific to the lumbar, thoracic, and cervicalspine.4.2 The

23、 axial compressive subsidence testing of the in-tervertebral body fusion device will be conducted in a simu-lated motion segment via a gap between two polyurethanefoam blocks.4.3 Grade 15 foam shall be employed conforming to Speci-fication F1839.5. Significance and Use5.1 Intervertebral body fusion

24、devices are generally simplegeometric shaped devices, which are often porous or hollow innature. Their function is to support the anterior column of thespine to facilitate arthrodesis of the motion segment.5.2 This test method is designed to quantify the subsidencecharacteristics of different design

26、ral body subsidence induced by the in-tervertebral body fusion devices.5.3 The static axial compressive loads that will be applied tothe intervertebral body fusion devices and test blocks willdiffer from the complex loading seen in vivo, and therefore, theresults from this test method may not be use

27、d to directly predictin vivo performance. The results, however, can be used tocompare the varying degrees of subsidence between differentintervertebral body fusion device designs for a given density ofsimulated bone.5.4 The location within the simulated vertebral bodies andposition of the interverte

28、bral body fusion device with respect tothe loading axis will be dependent upon the design andmanufacturers recommendation for implant placement.6. Apparatus6.1 Test machines will conform to the requirements ofPractices E4.6.2 The intradiscal height, H, (Fig. 1) shall be determinedfrom vertebral body

29、 and disc morphometric data at the in-tended level of application. Suggested heights are as follows:10 mm for the lumbar spine, 6 mm for the thoracic spine and4 mm for the cervical spine. The user of this test method shouldselect the intradiscal height that is appropriate for the devicebeing tested.

30、6.3 Axial Compressive Testing ApparatusAn exampleaxial compressive test fixture can be referenced in Figs. 4 and5. Two pieces of polyurethane foam or rigid metal are rigidlymounted inside the test fixture. The actuator of the testingmachine is connected to the pushrod by a minimal friction balland s

31、ocket joint or universal joint (that is, unconstrained inbending). The pushrod is connected to the superior fixture by aminimal friction sphere joint (that is, unconstrained in bendingand torsion). The inferior sphere portion firmly holds theinferior polyurethane block and is rigidly fixed within th

32、e basesocket so that no rotation occurs. The hollow pushrod andsuperior sphere should be of minimal weight so as to beconsidered a “two force” member. It thus applies to theintervertebral device a resultant force directed along thepushrods axes and located at the center of the superiorfixtures spher

33、e joint (the geometric center of the device beingtested). The polyurethane blocks are to have surfaces that mategeometrically with the intervertebral device similar to how thedevice is intended to mate with vertebral end plates. The testapparatus will be assembled such that the Z-axis of theinterver

34、tebral device is initially coincident with the pushrodsaxis and collinear with the axis of the testing machinesactuator and load cell. The length of the pushrod between thecenter of the ball-and-socket joint to the center of the sphericalsurface is to be a minimum of 38 cm. This is required tominimi

35、ze deviation of the pushrods axis (direction of appliedforce, F) from that of the test machines load cell axis. In otherwords, this is to minimize the error in using and reporting thatthe force indicated by the load cell Findis the applied load, F,and is equal to the compressive force, Fz, on the in

36、tervertebralbody fusion device. For example,a1mmdisplacement of thespherical surfaces center in the XY plane would produce anangle between axes of 0.15, (10 mm producing 1.5). Figs. 4and 5 are schematics of this test set up.FIG. 4 Subsidence Test FixtureF2267 04 (2011)47. Sampling7.1 Implants may be

37、 retested provided that the tested devicehas undergone a microscopic and geometric examination withno damage or permanent deformation detected.7.2 Each pair of polyurethane foam blocks shall be used forone test only.7.3 The test assemblies (that is, intervertebral body fusiondevice and polyurethane

38、blocks) shall be labeled and shall bemaintained according to good laboratory practice. The testassembly can be disassembled to facilitate examination ofsurface conditions.7.4 All tests shall have a minimum of five test samples.7.5 All implants should be prepared in the manner in whichthey would norm

39、ally be used clinically.8. Procedure for Static Axial Compression Test8.1 Two different testing conditions shall be used:8.1.1 Rigid metallic blocks shall be used to determine thestiffness of the device being tested.8.1.2 Polyurethane blocks will be used to determine thedevices propensity to subside

40、.FIG. 5 Subsidence Test FixtureF2267 04 (2011)58.2 The intervertebral body fusion devices are to be insertedinto two prepared rigid metallic blocks following the manu-facturers suggested protocol for insertion of the implant (thatis, the geometry of the implant configuration shall match thatof in vi

41、vo conditions). The initial intradiscal height, H, (Fig. 1)shall be constant for all tests for a given intervertebral bodyfusion device.8.3 The stiffness of the device shall be determined accord-ing to Test Methods F2077. (Note that five new devices will beused for the subsidence test since Test Met

42、hods F2077 is adestructive test.)8.4 The intervertebral body fusion devices are also to beinserted into two prepared polyurethane blocks following themanufacturers suggested protocol for insertion of the implant(that is, the geometry of the implant configuration shall matchthat of in vivo conditions

43、). The initial intradiscal height, H,(Fig. 1) shall be constant for all tests for a given intervertebralbody fusion device.8.5 The load is to be applied to the intervertebral bodyfusion devices on coordinates (0, 0, Z) as described in 6.3 at arate of 0.1 mm/s.8.6 The load-displacement curves shall b

44、e recorded. Theyield load (N), and stiffness (N/mm) for both testing conditions(see 8.1.1 and 8.1.2) are to be established. Fig. 3 showsrepresentative load-displacement curves for both testing con-ditions.8.7 By modeling the subsidence testing systems as twosprings in series, one can derive the rela

45、tionship between thestiffness of the intervertebral body fusion device and thestiffness of the polyurethane foam blocks (simulated vertebralbodies). The equation for Kp, the polyurethane foam test blockstiffness, is as follows:Kp 5KsKdKd 2 Ks(1)where:Kd = stiffness of the intervertebral body fusion

46、device(section 8.3), andKs = stiffness of the system (sections 8.4-8.6).8.8 Stiffness values for kd, ks as well as the value of Kp(N/mm) shall be recorded for each intervertebral body fusiondevice, and an average stiffness value for kd, ks, and Kp(N/mm) shall be established for each intervertebral b

47、ody fusiondevice. From Test Methods F2077, the average stiffness valueof the device, kd, shall also be recorded.9. Report9.1 The report should specify the intervertebral body fusiondevice assembly components, the intervertebral body fusiondevice assembly, the intended spinal location, and the number
