21、erformance Considerations and Test Methods6.1 Individual ComponentsThe anchorage pins by whichan ESFD is attached to a skeletal member or members typicallyexperience high flexural, or torsional loads, or both. Often, themajority of the overall compliance of an ESFD is in itsanchorage elements.Atest

22、method for evaluating the mechani-cal performance of an ESFD anchorage element in either ofthese loading modes is described in Annex A5.6.2 Subassemblies of Elements:6.2.1 The sites of junction between ESFD anchorage ele-ments (for example, pins) and bridge elements (for example,rods) normally requi

23、re specialized clamping or grippingmembers, known as connecting elements. Often, connectingelements are subjected to high loads, especially moments, soadequacy of their intrinsic mechanical stiffness, or strength, orboth, is critical to overall fixator performance. A test methodfor evaluating the me

24、chanical performance of ESFD connectorelements is described in Annex A2.6.2.2 ESFDs involving ring-type bridge elements are usedwidely both for fracture treatment and for distraction osteo-genesis. The anchorage elements in such fixators usually arewires or thin pins, which pass transverse to the bo

25、ne long axisand which are tensioned deliberately to control the longitudinalstiffness of the fixator. Tensioning these wires or pins causesappreciable compressive load in the plane of the ring element.A test method for evaluating the mechanical performance ofESFD ring elements in this loading mode i

26、s described in AnnexA3.6.2.3 The high loads often developed at ESFD junction sitesare of concern both because of potentially excessive elasticdeformation and because of potential irrecoverable deforma-tion. In addition to the connecting element itself (Annex A2),overall performance of the junction a

27、lso depends on theinterface between the connecting element and the anchorage,or bridge elements, or both, which it grips. A test method forevaluating the overall strength, or stiffness, or both, at anexternal fixator joint, as defined in AnnexA1 as the connectingelement itself plus its interface wit

28、h the anchorage, or bridge,or both, elements, which it grips, is described in Annex A4.6.2.4 The modular nature of many ESFD systems affordsthe surgeon particularly great latitude as to configuration of theframe subassembly, as defined in Annex A1 as the bridgeelements plus the connecting elements u

29、sed to join bridgeelements, but specifically excluding the anchorage elements.Since the configuration of the frame subassembly is a majordeterminant of overall ESFD mechanical behavior, it is impor-tant to have procedures for unambiguously characterizingframe subassemblies, both geometrically and me

37、ic surgery,primarily for applications involving fracture fixation or limblengthening, or both. The mechanical demands placed on thesedevices often are severe. Clinical success usually depends onsuitable mechanical integration of the ESFD with the host boneor limb.A1.3.2 It is important, therefore, t

38、o have broadly acceptedterminology and testing standards by which these devices canbe described and their mechanical behaviors measured.A1.3.3 Useful terminology and testing standards must takeinto account that the modular nature of most ESFDs deliber-ately affords a great deal of clinical latitude

39、in configuring theassembled fixator.A1.4. Significance and UseA1.4.1 The purpose of this classification is to establish aconsistent terminology system by means of which these ESFDconfigurations can be classified. It is anticipated that a com-panion testing standard using this classification system w

40、illsubsequently be developed.A1.5 Basis of ClassificationA1.5.1 An assembled ESFD and the bone(s) or bone ana-log(s) to which it is affixed constitute a fixator-bone construct.A1.5.1.1 The assembled ESFD itself, apart from the hostbone, is termed the fixator assembly.A1.5.1.2 The individual parts (o

41、r modules of individualparts) from which the end user assembles the fixator are termedits elements.A1.5.2 An ESFD normally is configured to span a mechani-cal discontinuity in the host bone that otherwise would beunable to transmit one or more components of the appliedfunctional load successfully. T

42、his bony discontinuity is termedthe mechanical defect.A1.5.3 Examples of mechanical defects are fracturesurfaces, interfragmentary callus, segmental bone gaps, articu-lar surfaces, neoplasms, and osteotomies.A1.5.4 Coordinate System(s)The relative positions of thebones or bone segments bordering the

43、 mechanical defectshould be described in terms of an orthogonal axis coordinatesystem (Fig. A1.1).A1.5.4.1 Where possible, coordinate axis directions shouldbe aligned perpendicular to standard anatomical planes (forexample, transverse (horizontal or axial), coronal (frontal), andsagittal (median).A1

44、.5.4.2 Where possible, translation directions should beconsistent with standard clinical conventions (for example,ventral (anterior), dorsal (posterior), cranial (cephalad orsuperior), caudal (inferior), lateral, or medial).A1.5.4.3 Rotation measurement conventions must followthe right-hand rule and

45、, where possible, should be consistentwith standard clinical terminology (for example, right or leftlateral bending, flexion, extension, and torsion).A1.5.5 A base coordinate system (X, Y, Z) should be affixedto one of the bones or major bone segments bordering themechanical defect. This bone or bon

46、e segment is termed thebase segment, Sb, and serves as a datum with respect to whichpertinent motion(s) of bone segments or fixator elements, orboth, can be referenced. Depending on context, Sbmay bedefined as being on either the proximal or the distal side of amechanical defect.A1.5.6 The other bon

47、e(s) or bone segment(s) bordering themechanical defect, whose potential motion(s) with respect toSbis of interest, is termed the mobile segment(s), Sm.Ifnecessary, a local right-handed orthogonal coordinate system(x, y, z) may be embedded within the Sm(s).A1.5.7 Degrees of Freedom: Describing the po

48、sition, orchange in position, of Smrelative to Sbrequires specifying oneor more independent variables. These variables shall be termedpositional degrees of freedom (P-DOF).F1541 173A1.5.7.1 Depending on context, this may involve as manyas six variables (three translation and three orientation).A1.5.

49、7.2 Also depending on context, P-DOFs may be usedto describe motions of interest in various magnitude ranges.For example, P-DOFs may be used to describe one or morecomponents of visually imperceptible motion (for example,elastic flexure of a thick rod) or one or more components ofgrossly evident motion (such as interfragmentary motion at anunstable fracture site).A1.5.8 Application or adjustment of an ESFD normallyincludes an attempt to achieve or maintain a specific position ofSmrelative to Sb. The adjustability afforded by the ESFDdesign for this purpose, most com
