This motion is limited, as defined
26、in this test, to theavailable articular or bearing surfaces found on the tibialcomponent. The actual relative motion values shall be providedas indicators of this type of constraint.3.2.2 coordinate system (see Fig. 1)a set of arbitrarycartesian coordinates affixed to the stationary component andali
27、gned such that the origin is located at the intersection of they and z axes.3.2.2.1 DiscussionThe y-axis is parallel to the ML direc-tion, directed medially, and is coincident with the matedcomponents contact points when the knee is in the neutralposition (see 7.2). The z-axis is located midway betw
28、een themated components contact points (or in the case of a singlecontact point, located at that point) and aligned in the superior-inferior direction of the distal component. A third axis, x,mutually orthogonal to the two previous axes is directedposteriorly. For determination of contact points, se
29、e Annex A1and Fig. 2. The contact point shall be located to a tolerance of61 mm. In the case of multiple contact points on a condyle, anaverage location of the contact points shall be used.3.2.3 degrees of freedomalthough the knee joint is notedto have 6 df, or directions in which relative motion is

It maybe indicated that the femoral
32、component, when implanted, bepositioned at some angle of hyperextension as seen when thepatients knee is fully extended; this, then becomes the neutralposition for negative flexion angle tests. The neutral positionmay be determined either by applying a compressive force of100 N and allowing the impl
33、ant to settle or by measuring theFIG. 1 Defined Coordinate System ExamplesF1223082vertical position of the movable component with respect to thestationary and using the low point of the component as theneutral point. In those implants with a flat zone and no uniquelow point, the midpoint of the flat
34、 zone can be used as theneutral point. For those implants having a tibial componentwith a posterior tilt, the user may use other means to define theneutral point, but shall report on how it was found.3.2.5 set pointthat numeric quantity assigned to an inputsuch as a load.3.2.6 movable componentthat

Significance and Use4.1 This test method, when applied to available productsand proposed prototypes, is meant to provide a database ofproduct functionali
38、ty capabilities (in light of the suggested testregimens) that is hoped to aid the physician in making a moreinformed total knee replacement (TKR) selection.4.2 A proper matching of TKR functional restorative capa-bilities and the recipients (patients) needs is more likelyprovided for by a rational t
39、esting protocol of the implant in aneffort to reveal certain device characteristics pertinent to theselection process.4.3 The TKR product designs are varied and offer a widerange of constraint (stability). The constraint of the TKR in thein vitro condition depends on several geometrical and kine-mat
40、ic interactions among the implants components which canbe identified and quantified. The degree of TKRs kinematicinteractions should correspond to the recipients needs asdetermined by the physician during clinical examination.4.4 For mobile bearing knee systems, the constraint of theentire implant c
41、onstruct shall be characterized. Constraint ofmobile bearings is dictated by design features at both theinferior and superior articulating interfaces.4.5 The methodology, utility, and limitations of constraint/laxity testing are discussed.3, 4The authors recognize thatevaluating isolated implants (t
42、hat is, without soft tissues) doesnot directly predict in vivo behavior, but will allow compari-sons among designs. Constraint testing is also useful forcharacterizing implant performance at extreme ranges of mo-tion which may be encountered in-vivo at varying frequencies,depending on the patients a
43、natomy, pre-operative capability,and post-operative activities and lifestyle.5. Apparatus5.1 General:5.1.1 The stationary component should be free to move onlyin directions parallel to the z-axis and not permitted to rotateabout this axis in all but the distraction test. In the distractiontest it is
44、 fully fixed.NOTE 1In order to test asymmetrical designs, which may be asym-metrical about the sagittal or frontal planes, it may be necessary to allowadditional degrees of freedom in addition to those discussed in 5.1, 5.2,5.3, and 5.4. For example, the anterior ridge of the tibial bearing insertma
45、y be thicker than the posterior ridge. Also the medial and lateralsurfaces may not be identical. As a result of this implant asymmetry,condylar liftoff may occur. For example, during a rotary test, one mayneed to allow valgus/varus angulation to ensure both condyles remain incontact. If one does all
46、ow additional degree(s) of freedom, these changesto the test method shall be included in the report. For the internal/externalrotation test, asymmetrical designs may also require a different center ofrotation than as defined in Ssection 3 and Annex A1. If a different centerof rotation is used, it sh
47、all be stated in the report section.5.1.2 The movable component shall be the displaced mem-ber when under loads specific to that test and shall beinstrumented accordingly to obtain data pertinent to that test.3Walker PS, Haider H, “Characterizing the Motion of Total Knee Replacementsin Laboratory Te
