Summary of Test Methods4.1 Similar test methods are proposed for the mechanicalevaluation of cervical spinal implant assemblies (see Fig. 4,Fig. 6, and Fig. 8) and
39、thoracolumbar, lumbar, and lumbosacralspinal implant assemblies (see Fig. 10, Fig. 12, and Fig. 14).4.2 Testing of the spinal implant assemblies will simulate avertebrectomy model via a large gap between two Ultra HighMolecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) test blocks. TheUHMWPE used to manufacture
40、the test blocks should have atensile breaking strength equal to 40 6 3 MPa (see Specifica-tion D638). The UHMWPE test blocks (see Fig. 5, Fig. 7, Fig.9, Fig. 11, Fig. 13, and Fig. 15) will eliminate the effects of thevariability of bone properties and morphometry. Alternatedesigns of test blocks may
41、 be used as long as equivalentperformance is demonstrated.4.3 Three static mechanical tests and one dynamic test willevaluate the spinal implant assemblies. The three static me-chanical tests are compression bending, tensile bending, andtorsion.The dynamic test is a compression bending fatigue test.
42、It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to determinewhich test(s) is (are) most appropriate for a particular spinalimplant assembly.4.4 A specific clinical indication generally requires a spe-cific spinal implant assembly. Spinal implant assemblies willbe evaluated with test configurat
43、ions which simulate theclinical requirements for the intended spinal location. Theintended spinal locations are both anterior (see Fig. 4) andposterior (see Fig. 6 and Fig. 8) surfaces of the cervical spineor both anterior (see Fig. 10) and posterior (see Fig. 12 and Fig.14) surfaces of the thoracol
44、umbar, lumbar, and lumbosacralspine. The block moment arm (see 6.6) for a test configurationdepends on the intended spinal location. The cervical spineconfiguration (see Fig. 5, Fig. 7, and Fig. 9) specifies one blockmoment arm, while a larger block moment arm (see Fig. 11,Fig. 13, and Fig. 15) is s
45、pecified for the thoracolumbar, lumbar,and lumbosacral spine.4.5 The intended method of application of the spinal im-plant assembly may vary for specific anatomic regions andclinical indications. Spinal implant assemblies contain differenttypes of anchors. Each type of anchor has an intended methodo
46、f application to the spine. For example, one assembly mayinclude anterior vertebral body screws and rods (see Fig. 2),while another assembly may contain posterior sacral screws,hooks, rods, and transverse elements (see Fig. 3). The blockFIG. 4 Cervical Unilateral Construct Test Setup for Screws or B
47、oltsF1717 12a5moment arm of a test configuration will be independent of theintended method of application of a spinal implant assembly;therefore, the test data for different intended methods ofapplication may be compared.5. Significance and Use5.1 Spinal implants are generally composed of severalcom
48、ponents which, when connected together, form a spinalimplant assembly. Spinal implant assemblies are designed toprovide some stability to the spine while arthrodesis takesplace. These test methods outline standard materials andmethods for the evaluation of different spinal implant assem-blies so tha
49、t comparison between different designs may befacilitated.5.2 These test methods are used to quantify the static anddynamic mechanical characteristics of different designs ofspinal implant assemblies. The mechanical tests are conductedin vitro using simplified load schemes and do not attempt tomimic the complex loads of the spine.5.3 The loads applied to the spinal implant assemblies invivo will, in general, differ from the loading configurationsused in these test methods. The results obtained here cannot beused directly to predict in vi
