Standard Practice for Determining Femoral Head Penetration into Acetabular Components of Total Hip Replacement Using Clinical Radiographs

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice uses clinical radiographs of the hip joint of a patient that has received a total hip replacement to measure the combined effect of plastic deformation and wear at the articular interface which results in three-dimensional displacements of the femoral head into the acetabular component.

4.2 This practice addresses the validation of the various computational methods available for measuring the magnitude of creep/wear accruing at the articular surface of THRs.

4.3 This practice addresses the type of radiographic projections needed for an analysis as well as general radiographic parameters needed for obtaining high quality films.

4.4 This practice addresses the criterion for evaluating clinical radiographs for inclusion in a study.

4.5 This practice addresses the conversion of radiographic images to the appropriate digital format needed for the various computer-assisted computational methods.
