Standard Test Method for Static Evaluation of Anatomic Glenoid Locking Mechanism in Shear

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method can be used to describe the effects of materials, manufacturing, and design variables on the performance of metal or composite-backed anatomic glenoid prostheses’ locking mechanisms to resist static shear loading.

4.2 The glenoid component is used in shoulder replacements and should conform to the criteria specified in Specification F1378.

4.3 The loading of metal or composite-backed anatomic glenoid prostheses in vivo will, in general, differ from the loading defined in this test method. The results obtained here cannot be used to directly predict in vivo performance. However, this test method is designed to allow for comparisons between different metal or composite-backed anatomic glenoid locking mechanism designs, when tested under the same testing conditions.

4.4 This test method may not be appropriate for all types of implant applications. The user is cautioned to consider the appropriateness of the method in view of the materials being tested and their potential application.

4.5 In order for the test data on metal or composite-backed anatomic glenoid components to be comparable, reproducible, and capable of being correlated among laboratories, it is essential that uniform procedures be established.
