ASTM F2887-23 pdf download – Standard Specification For Total Elbow Prostheses.
This document delineates the requirements for total elbow replacement (TER) prosthetics and hemi-elbow replacement prosthetics, which are designed to restore functional articulation within the human elbow joint complex. These prosthetics utilize humeral, ulnar, and/or radial components to facilitate the重建 of elbow joint motion.
The scope of this specification encompasses elbow prosthesis components suitable for both primary and revision surgeries. It includes designs with both linked and non-linked configurations, as well as components that can be implanted with or without the use of bone cement.
The intention of this specification is to furnish essential descriptions of the materials and the geometric structure of the prosthesis. It also identifies the key characteristics that are crucial for the in vivo performance of the prosthesis. Nevertheless, adherence to this specification alone does not guarantee that a device will achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
The measurements provided in this standard are based on the International System of Units (SI) and are considered the benchmark. This specification does not recognize any alternative units of measurement.
