This test method is used to measure the torsional yield strength, maximum torque, and breaking angle of the bone screw under standard conditions.

This specification covers self-curing resins used primarily for the fixation of internal orthopedic prostheses. While a variety of copolymers and comonomers may be incorporated, the composition of the set cement shall contain poly(methacrylic acid esters) as its main ingredient. This specification covers compositional, physical performance, and biocompatibility as well as packaging requirements. Materials shall be tested and shall conform to specified values of appearance, stability, sterility, viscosity, intrusion and compressive strength.

This specification covers the requirements for stainless steel forgings for surgical implants.

This test method is intended to be performed in conjunction with pin-on-flat wear machines or similar machines that are designed to evaluate simplified specimen geometries.

The shear test method is recommended for shear testing of calcium phosphate and metallic/substrate combinations and can provide information on the adhesive or cohesive strength of coatings under a uniaxial shear stress.

This test method covers the procedure for determining the shear and bending fatigue performance of calcium phosphate coatings and of porous and nonporous metallic coatings and for determining the bending fatigue performance of metallic coatings over sprayed with calcium phosphate.

This practice describes a laboratory procedure for accelerated aging of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) specimens and components for total joint prostheses.

This test method establishes a standard methodology for determining the force required to disassemble tapers of implants.

This practice describes a weight-loss technique for evaluating the wear properties of polymeric materials or devices which are being considered for use as bearing surfaces in joint replacement prostheses that are being evaluated in a device intended to simulate the tribological conditions encountered in the respective human joint.

This test method describes a uniaxial, constant amplitude, fully reversed fatigue test to characterize the fatigue performance of a uniform cylindrical waisted specimen manufactured from acrylic bone cement.

This specification covers the materials, dimensional tolerances, constructions, and mechanical properties for standard metallic implantable strands and cables.

This specification covers requirements and corresponding test methods for acrylic resins supplied in virgin form (typically pellets, powder, or granules) for medical implant applications.

This part specifies general requirements for metallic skeletal pins and wires for use in bone surgery, excluding wires for binding and twisting.

This part specifies the dimensions for Steinmann skeletal pins.

This part specifies the characteristics (dimensions, ends, marking and packaging) of Kirschner wires.

Implants for surgery — Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene — Part 3: Accelerated ageing methods

Describes a test method for straight plates but may also be used for ones having a small initial curvature.

This document specifies general requirements for the design of tests for identifying and quantifying degradation products from final metallic medical devices or corresponding material samples finished as ready for clinical use.

Applies to resin cements based on poly(methacrylic acid esters) and specifies the procedure for determining the fatigue behaviour of the polymerized cement.

Specifies particular requirements for total and partial joint replacement implants, artificial ligaments and bone cement, referred to as implants and specifies requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacturing, sterilization, packaging and information to be supplied by the manufacturer.

Specifies a test method for four-point cyclic bending fatigue of fine ceramics that are carried out in the air at room temperature. This test may be used as a pass/fail test for material qualification purposes, or for determination of the overall fatigue behaviour at several different stress levels.
