2、on, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice provides guidance for the static anddynamic testing of Lumbar Total Facet Prostheses (FP
3、). Theseimplants are intended to allow motion and lend support to oneor more functional spinal unit(s) through replacement of thenatural facets.1.2 These test methods are intended to provide a basis forthe mechanical comparison among past, present, and futurenon-biologic FP. These test methods allow
4、 comparison ofdevices with different methods of application to the lumbarspine. These test methods are intended to enable the user tomechanically compare devices and do not purport to provideperformance standards for them.1.3 These test methods describe static and dynamic tests byspecifying load typ
5、es and specific methods of applying theseloads.1.4 These test methods do not purport to address all clini-cally relevant failure modes for FP, some of which will bedevice specific. For example, these test methods do not addressimplant wear resistance under expected in vivo loads andmotions. In addit
6、ion, the biologic response to wear debris is notaddressed in these test methods.1.5 Requirements are established for measuring displace-ments and evaluating the stiffness of FP.1.6 Some devices may not be testable in all test configura-tions.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as th
7、estandard with the exception of angular measurements, whichmay be reported in terms of either degrees or radians.1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is proposed for the mechanical testing ofFP.4.2 All tests are to be performed on the p
31、rosthesis size withthe smallest safety factor for the levels indicated for implan-tation. If this worst-case size cannot be determined usingtheoretical or experimental methods such as simple stresscalculations or finite element analysis, then all available sizesor a justified selection are to be tes
32、ted and the complete rangeof results are to be reported.4.3 Static and dynamic testing of the devices will simulate amotion segment via a gap between two Ultra High MolecularWeight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) test blocks (Fig. 1, Fig. 3,orFig. 4). The UHMWPE used to manufacture the test blocksshould have
33、a tensile breaking strength equal to 40 6 3 MPa(see Specification D638). The UHMWPE will eliminate theeffects of the variability of bone properties and morphology forthe fatigue tests.4.4 Static and dynamic tests will evaluate the devices. Theuser of this practice must decide which series of tests a
34、reapplicable to the device in question. The user of this practicemay choose to use all or a selection of the tests described fortesting a particular device.4.5 This practice is intended to be applicable to FP thatsupport and transmit motion by means of an articulating jointor by use of compliant mat
35、erials and/or design. Ceramics,metals, and/or polymers may be used in FP design, and it is thegoal of this practice to enable a comparison of these devices,regardless of material and type of device.5. Significance and Use5.1 Facet Prosthesis ComponentsThe facet replacementmay comprise a variety of s
36、hapes and configurations. Its formsmay include, but are not limited to, ball and socket articulatingjoints, joints having a free-floating or semi-constrained thirdNOTE(A) Anterior-Posterior, (B) Superior-Inferior, (C) Medial-Lateral setups are shown. These setups require one translational actuator a
37、nd mayrequire specific fixturing. Test blocks are shown in grey. The arrow indicates the loading direction.FIG. 3 Diagrams of Possible Test Setups for Translational Loading of a FPF2790 103body, metallic load-bearing surfaces, and spring and dampen-ing mechanisms.Additionally, it may be a unilateral
38、 or bilateraldesign.5.2 These test methods are designed to quantify the staticand dynamic characteristics of different designs of FP. The testsare conducted in vitro in order to allow for analysis ofindividual devices and comparison of the mechanical perfor-mance of multiple designs.5.3 The loads ap
39、plied to the FP may differ from the complexloading seen in vivo, and therefore, the results from these testsmay not directly predict in vivo performance. The results,however, can be used to compare mechanical performance indifferent devices.5.4 Fatigue testing in a simulated body fluid or saline may
40、cause fretting, corrosion, or lubricate the interconnections andthereby affect the relative performance of tested devices. Thistest should be conducted in a 0.9 % saline environmental bathat 37C at a maximum rate of 10 Hz for all metallic devices and2 Hz for non-metallic devices. Other test environm
41、ents such asa simulated body fluid, a saline drip or mist, distilled water,other type of lubrication or dry could also be used withadequate justification. Likewise, alternative test frequenciesmay be used with adequate justification to ensure that it doesnot impact the device performance.5.5 It is w
42、ell known that the failure of materials is depen-dent upon stress, test frequency, surface treatments, and envi-ronmental factors. Therefore, when determining the effect ofchanging these parameters (for example, frequency, material,or environment), care should be taken to allow for appropriateinterp
43、retation of the results. In particular, it may be necessaryto assess the influence of test frequency on device fracturewhile holding the test environment, implant materials andprocessing, and implant geometry constant.6. Apparatus and Setup6.1 Test machines will conform to the requirements ofPractic
44、es E4.6.2 The test apparatus will allow multiple loading regimesto be applied to all forms of FP.6.3 The test block should be created according to Fig. 1.Variations from this design to accommodate a devices fixationmethod or features should be reported and justified.6.4 The interpedicular spacing (s
45、uperior-to-inferior center-to-center distance between bone anchors) shall be set at 38 mmwhen installing the device and at the beginning of each test.The implants should be placed in the UHMWPE blocksaccording to the recommended surgical technique. For devicesthat do not require pedicular fixation a
46、ppropriate test blocksshould be manufactured to ensure proper evaluation of thefixation components.6.5 Install the FP in the UHMWPE blocks according to themanufacturers instructions. If necessary, utilize an aluminumspacer block between the superior and inferior UHMWPEblocks to fix them with respect
47、 to each other during installationand remove after installation is complete. The spacer blockshould ensure that the device is installed with the proper activelongitudinal length.NOTE(A) Simulated Flexion-Extension, (B) Axial Rotation, (C) Lateral Bending setups are shown. These setups require one ro
48、tational actuator andmay require specific fixturing. The arrow indicates the rotation direction. Test blocks are shown in grey. The position of the axis of rotation should bebased on the information in Table X1.1.FIG. 4 Diagrams of Possible Test Setups for Rotational Loading of a FPF2790 1046.6 The
49、motion of the superior test construct relative to theinferior test construct shall be constrained in three-dimensionalspace except for the components in the direction of specifiedtest motions/loads.6.7 Translational Test Option Setup:6.7.1 The linear actuator of the test frame is connected to thesuperior test block so that its axis is collinear with the testdirection (Fig. 3).6.7.2 The inferior test block should be rigidly attached to thebase of the test frame so that it is aligned appropriately withrespect to the superior construc
