Standards Testing - Knee

For more than four decades, ORL is recognized as an innovator of testing standards and methods with an extensive track record of providing information necessary for successful regulatory approvals, product quality confirmation, marketing materials and surgeon education. This Standards listing encapsulates the breadth of this expertise.

This test method quantifies total knee replacement motion characteristics delineated by the inherent articular design as determined under specific loading conditions.

ASTM F1672 - Standard Specification for Resurfacing Patellar Prosthesis

This specification provides basic descriptions and characteristics of material and device geometry for patellar resurfacing devices that have been determined to be important to in-vivo performance.

ASTM F1800 - Standard Practice for Cyclic Fatigue Testing of Metal Tibial Tray Components of Total Knee Joint Replacements

This practice covers a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in knee joint replacements using a cyclic, constant-amplitude force.

ASTM F1814 - Standard Guide for Evaluating Modular Hip and Knee Joint Components

This guide assists the developer of a modular joint replacement implant in the choice of appropriate tests and evaluations to determine device safety.

ASTM F2083 - Standard Specification for Knee Replacement Prosthesis

This specification is intended to provide basic descriptions of material and prosthesis geometry for primary and revision total knee replacement devices. Additionally, those characteristics determined to be important toin vivoperformance of the prosthesis are defined.

This practice covers a laboratory-based in vitro method for evaluating the mechanical performance of materials and devices being considered for replacement of the tibio-femoral joint in human knee joint replacement prostheses in mobile bearing knee systems.

ASTM 2723 -Standard Test Method for Evaluating Mobile Bearing Knee Tibial Baseplate/Bearing Resistance to Dynamic Disassociation

This test method includes the use of static and fatigue shear and bending force conditions to evaluate the bearing retention mechanism of a mobile bearing knee design and its ability to prevent disassociation.

ASTM F2724 -Standard Test Method for Evaluating Mobile Bearing Knee Dislocation

This test method is designed to provide a standardized method to determine the dislocation resistance of mobile-bearing knee designs with regard to femoral component disassociation and spin-out/spit-out of the mobile bearing insert.

ASTM F2777 - Standard Test Method for Evaluating Knee Bearing (Tibial Insert) Endurance and Deformation Under High Flexion

This test method can be used to describe the effects of materials, manufacturing, and design variables on the fatigue/cyclic creep performance of UHMWPE bearing components subject to substantial rotation in the transverse plane (relative to the tibial tray) for a relatively large number of cycles.

ASTM F3140 - Standard Test Method for Cyclic Fatigue Testing of Metal Tibial Tray Components of Unicondylar Knee Joint Replacements

This test method covers a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in partial knee joint replacements. It is intended to provide useful, consistent, and reproducible information about the fatigue performance of metallic tibial trays with unsupported mid-section of the condyle.

ASTM F3141 - Standard Guide for Total Knee Replacement Loading Profiles

The purpose of this test guide is to provide load profile information on how one could test a total knee replacement in order to evaluate in vitro its function and wear during several types of knee motions.
