1、Designation: F 2694 07Standard Practice forFunctional and Wear Evaluation of Motion-PreservingLumbar Total Facet Prostheses1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2694; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides guidance for the functional,kinematic and wear testing of motion-preserving total

3、 facetprostheses for the lumbar spine. These implants are intended toallow motion and lend support to the functional spinal unit(s)through replacement of the natural facets.1.2 This test method is not intended to address the boneimplant interface or the static characteristics of the prosthesiscompon

4、ents. Fatigue characteristics are included, but only as aby-product of cyclic wear testing under facet load and thus arenot addressed in the typical process of generating an S-Ncharacterization.1.3 Biocompatibility of the materials used in a total facetprosthesis are not addressed in this practice.1

5、.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard with the exception of angular measurements, whichmay be reported in either degrees or radians.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the us

6、er of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice can be used to describe the function,kinematics, and wear behavior of

25、 total facet prostheses sub-jected to cyclic loading/motion for relatively large numbers ofcycles. (For example, various designs of total facet prostheses,as well as the effects of materials, manufacturing techniquesand other design variables on one particular design can bestudied using this practic

26、e.)4.2 This practice is intended to be applicable to total facetprostheses that support and transmit motion by means of anarticulating joint or by use of compliant materials. Ceramics,metals, and/or polymers may be used in total facet prosthesisdesign, and it is the goal of this practice to enable a

27、 kinematicwear comparison of these devices, regardless of material andtype of device.5. Significance and Use5.1 Total Facet Prosthesis ComponentsThe total facetreplacement may comprise a variety of shapes and configura-tions. Its forms may include, but are not limited to, ball andsocket articulating

28、 joints, joints having a free-floating orsemi-constrained third body, metallic load-bearing surfaces,and spring and dampening mechanisms.Additionally, it may bea unilateral or bilateral design.5.2 Spinal Testing Apparatus:5.2.1 Test ChambersIn case of a multispecimen machine,each chamber shall be is

29、olated to prevent cross-contaminationof the test specimens. The chamber shall be made entirely ofcorrosion resistant materials, such as acrylic plastic or stainlesssteel, and shall be removable from the machine for thoroughcleaning between tests.5.2.2 Component Clamping/FixturingSince the purposeof

30、the test is to characterize the wear and kinematic function ofthe total facet prosthesis, the method for mounting componentsin the test chamber shall not compromise the accuracy ofassessment of the weight loss or stiffness variation during thetest. For example, prostheses having complicated superior

31、 andinferior surfaces for contacting bone (for example, sinteredbeads, hydroxylapatite (HA) coating, plasma spray) may bespecially manufactured to modify that surface in a manner thatdoes not affect the wear simulation.5.2.3 The device should be securely (rigidly) attached at itsbone-implant interfa

32、ce to the mating test fixtures.5.2.4 The motion of the superior test fixture (more posteriorfixture in Figs. 1 and 2) relative to the inferior testing fixtureshall be constrained in three-dimensional space except for thecomponents in the direction of specified test motions/loads.5.2.5 Load and Motio

33、n:5.2.5.1 Facet loads (fx) are initially applied in the directionof the positive X-axis.5.2.5.2 Flexion load and motion are positive moment androtation about the Y-axis.5.2.5.3 Extension load and motion are negative moment androtation about the Y-axis.5.2.5.4 Lateral bend load and motion are positiv

34、e andnegative moments and rotations about the X-axis.5.2.5.5 Axial rotation load and motion are positive andnegative moments and rotations about the Z-axis.5.2.6 FrequencyTest frequency is to be determined andjustified by the user of this practice, and shall not exceed 2 Hzwithout adequate justifica

35、tion ensuring that the applied motion(load) profiles remain within specified tolerances and that thetotal facet prosthesiss wear and functional characteristics arenot significantly affected. See X1.6.5.2.7 Cycle CounterOne complete motion is the entirerange from starting position through the range o

36、f motion (orF2694072load when in load control) and returning to the starting position(load). Cycles are to be counted using an automated countingdevice.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Testing Medium:6.1.1 A solution containing bovine serum diluted to aprotein concentration of 20 g/L in deionized water

37、shall beused as the testing medium.6.1.2 To retard bacterial degradation, freeze and store theserum until needed for testing. In addition, it is recommendedthat the serum contains a mass fraction of a suitable antibac-terial agent to minimize bacterial degradation. Alternate lubri-cants (other than

38、bovine serum solution) should be evaluated todetermine appropriate storage conditions.6.1.3 It is recommended that ethylene-diaminetetraaceticacid (EDTA) be added to the serum at a concentration of 20mM (7.45 g/L) to bind calcium in solution and minimizeprecipitation of calcium phosphate onto the be

39、aring surfaces.The latter event has been shown to affect the friction and wearproperties strongly, particularly of polyethylene/ceramic com-binations. The addition of EDTA to other testing mediumsshould be evaluated.6.1.4 The bulk temperature of the testing medium shall bemaintained at 37 6 3C unles

40、s otherwise justified.6.1.5 The user may wish to reference Test Method F 732 foradditional guidance on serum preparation.6.2 The user is cautioned that internal heating of theprosthesis may cause localized temperatures to fall outside the37 6 3C of the testing medium. Internal local temperaturesmay

41、depend on a number of factors including but not limited tojoint friction, material hysteresis, conductivity of the device-fixture materials, design, and test frequency. Localized el-evated temperatures may have an effect on the mechanical aswell as wear properties of the prosthesis. If the deviceexp

42、eriences localized elevated temperatures, the user mustdescribe the effect the selected frequency and resultant local-ized temperature have on the test results or justify that theeffects are physiologically relevant. Refer to X1.5 for furtherinformation.NOTEThis setup would require two rotational ac

Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 It is suggested that a minimum sample size of six beused for each kinematic/load profile. However, note that, as fora

45、ny experimental comparison, the total number of neededspecimens will depend on the magnitude of the difference to beestablished, the repeatability of the results (standard deviation),and the level of statistical significance desired.7.2 The test assemblies (that is, total facet prosthesis com-ponent

46、s in the tested configuration) shall be labeled so they canbe traced and must be kept in a clean environment to avoidcontamination. The test assembly can be disassembled tofacilitate examination of surface conditions.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 The functional portion of the device to be tested mu

47、st beproduced using equivalent manufacturing methods as theimplantable form of the total facet prosthesis, including steril-ization.8.2 It is permissible to exclude nonfunctional features thatmay interfere with obtaining wear/functional measurements.For example, bone-implant interfaces such as HA, p

48、lasma-spray titanium, and beads may be omitted since they mayabrade the fixtures and thus produce an unwanted mixture offunctional and nonfunctional component wear particles (see5.2.2).8.3 It is permissible to make entirely different bone-implantinterface components (that is, superior and inferior s

49、urfaces)provided that the modification is properly justified and does notinterfere with an accurate measurement of the wear andfunctional characteristics of the device. For example, a ball andsocket joint prosthesis may be manufactured having the pol-ished articulation component (that is, functional surfaces orfeatures of the device) and an opposite side that mountsdirectly to the testing apparatus, thereby simplifying thefixturing demands.8.4 The requirements of Guide F 1714, Specimen Prepara-tion section, shall be followed.9.
