Scope1.1 These test methods cover the materials and methods for the static and fatigue testing of spinal implant assembli
3、es in avertebrectomy model. The test materials for most combinations of spinal implant components can be specific, depending on theintended spinal location and intended method of application to the spine.1.2 These test methods are intended to provide a basis for the mechanical comparison among past,
4、 present, and future spinalimplant assemblies. They allow comparison of spinal implant constructs with different intended spinal locations and methods ofapplication to the spine. These test methods are not intended to define levels of performance, since sufficient knowledge is notavailable to predic
5、t the consequences of the use of a particular device.1.3 These test methods set out guidelines for load types and methods of applying loads. Methods for three static load types andone fatigue test are defined for the comparative evaluation of spinal implant assemblies.1.4 These test methods establis

40、.4. Summary of Test Methods4.1 Similar test methods are proposed for the mechanical evaluation of cervical spinal implant assemblies (see Fig. 4, Fig. 6,and Fig. 8) and thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacral spinal implant assemblies (see Fig. 10, Fig. 12, and Fig. 14).FIG. 4 Cervical Unilateral Con
41、struct Test Setup for Screws or BoltsF1717 1254.2 Testing of the spinal implant assemblies will simulate a vertebrectomy model via a large gap between two Ultra HighMolecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) test blocks. The UHMWPE used to manufacture the test blocks should have a tensilebreaking streng
42、th equal to 40 6 3 MPa (see Specification D638). The UHMWPE test blocks (see Fig. 5, Fig. 7, Fig. 9, Fig. 11,Fig. 13, and Fig. 15) will eliminate the effects of the variability of bone properties and morphometry. Alternate designs of testblocks may be used as long as equivalent performance is demons
43、trated.4.3 Three static mechanical tests and one dynamic test will evaluate the spinal implant assemblies. The three static mechanicaltests are compression bending, tensile bending, and torsion. The dynamic test is a compression bending fatigue test. It is theresponsibility of the user of this stand
44、ard to determine which test(s) is (are) most appropriate for a particular spinal implantassembly.4.4 A specific clinical indication generally requires a specific spinal implant assembly. Spinal implant assemblies will beevaluated with test configurations which simulate the clinical requirements for
45、the intended spinal location. The intended spinallocations are both anterior (see Fig. 4) and posterior (see Fig. 6 and Fig. 8) surfaces of the cervical spine or both anterior (see Fig.10) and posterior (see Fig. 12 and Fig. 14) surfaces of the thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacral spine. The block
46、 moment arm(see 6.6) for a test configuration depends on the intended spinal location. The cervical spine configuration (see Fig. 5, Fig. 7, andFig. 9) specifies one block moment arm, while a larger block moment arm (see Fig. 11, Fig. 13, and Fig. 15) is specified for thethoracolumbar, lumbar, and l
47、umbosacral spine.FIG. 5 Cervical Unilateral UHWMPE Block for Screws or BoltsF1717 1264.5 The intended method of application of the spinal implant assembly may vary for specific anatomic regions and clinicalindications. Spinal implant assemblies contain different types of anchors. Each type of anchor
48、 has an intended method ofapplication to the spine. For example, one assembly may include anterior vertebral body screws and rods (see Fig. 2), while anotherassembly may contain posterior sacral screws, hooks, rods, and transverse elements (see Fig. 3). The block moment arm of a testconfiguration wi
49、ll be independent of the intended method of application of a spinal implant assembly; therefore, the test data fordifferent intended methods of application may be compared.5. Significance and Use5.1 Spinal implants are generally composed of several components which, when connected together, form a spinal implantassembly. Spinal implant assemblies are designed to provide some stability to the spine while arthrodesis takes place. These testmethods outline standard materials and methods for the evaluation of different spinal implant assembli
