A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides requirements for material,dimensions and tolerances, finish and marking, and care andhandling for reamers intend
3、ed to cut a cylindrical path alongthe medullary canal of diaphyseal bone.1.2 Intramedullary reamers are commonly used to preparethe medullary canal for the insertion of intramedullary fixationdevices (IMFD). As such, the relationship between the in-tramedullary reamer diameter and the IMFDs diameter

7、.1 cutting head, nthe portion of the reamer, whichconsists of flutes, or edges, which cut the bone.3.1.2 reamer diameter, nthe diameter of the circum-scribed circle of the cutting heads cross-section (shown in Fig.1).3.1.3 reamer shaft diameter, nthe diameter of the circum-scribed circle of the long
8、 portion of the reamer, which connectsthe cutting portion of the reamer to the drill.4. Classification4.1 In general, intramedullary reamers consist of two types:4.1.1 One-piece reamerA design where the reamer shaftand cutting head are permanently attached to each other.4.1.2 Modular ReamerA design
9、where the reamer shaftand cutting head are two separate components, fixed to eachother temporarily at the time of use via a geometric connection,for example, dovetail joint.5. Dimensions and Tolerances5.1 The reamer diameter shall be measured at the largestportion of the cutting heads cross section
10、and reported to thenearest 0.2 mm. The reamer diameter shall be measured usinga micrometer or an appropriate ring gage. When using amicrometer to measure reamers with an odd number of flutes,a V-anvil micrometer (with the appropriate angle, based on thenumber of flutes) will be used to accurately de
11、termine thereamer diameter.5.2 The tolerance of a reamer diameter shall be no morethan 60.075 mm.6. Material Requirements6.1 The reamers shaft and cutting head shall be fabricatedfrom materials with suitable strength, hardness, and corrosionresistance. The materials described in Specifications A 564
12、/A 564M A 693, A 705/A 705M and F 899 have been found tobe suitable for this use.7. Finish and Marking7.1 The shaft and cutting head shall be free from burrs,nicks, dents, and scratches when examined in accordance withPractice F86.7.2 The flutes of the cutting head will be of the appropriategeometry

19、1. RATIONALEX1.1 Intramedullary reamers commonly are used to preparethe medullary canal for the subsequent insertion of an IMFD.The relationship between the diameter of the hole prepared bythe reamer and the IMFDs diameter are important in relationto the fit achieved by the implant in the bone and t
20、he avoidanceof surgical complications. If the fit is too loose, the initialfixation may be inadequate to control the translation of thefragments. If the fit is too tight, it may be impossible to drivethe IMFD into the bone, the bone fragments may burst, theIMFD may migrate out through the side of th
21、e bone, and soforth. It is important that the designation for the reamer size ordiameter be related to the diameter of the reamers cuttingflutes so that instruments and IMFDs of different designs andmanufacturers can be interchanged during use. Using thereamer diameter specified here and the IMFD di
22、ameter speci-fied in Specification F 1264, the surgeon may have confidencein achieving the correct reamer/IMFD geometric relationship.X1.2 The reamer shaft diameter may be an importantdimension in the clinical use of the intramedullary reamer.Laboratory studies have suggested that larger reamer shaf
23、tdiameters result in greater intramedullary pressure.3,4,5ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
