ASTM F 2068 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Femoral ProsthesesMetallic Implants
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 10, 2003
Scope:
This specification covers metallic stemmed femoral prostheses used to
replace the natural hip joint
by means of hemi-arthroplasty or total hip surgical procedures.
Prostheses for hemi-arthroplasty
are intended to articulate with the natural acetabulum of the patient.
Prostheses for total hip
replacement are intended to articulate with prosthetic acetabular
cups. Prostheses may have
integral femoral heads or cones designed to accept modular heads.
Modular femoral heads, which may be affixed to cones on implants
covered by this specification, are
not covered by this specification. The mechanical strength, corrosion
resistance, and
biocompatibility of the head portions of one-piece integral implants
are covered by this
specification.
Femoral prostheses included within the scope of this specification are
intended for fixation by
press fit between the prosthesis and host bone, the use of bone
cement, or through the ingrowth of
host bone into a porous coating.
Custom femoral prostheses, designed explicitly for a single patient,
are not covered within the
scope of this specification.
Prostheses incorporating nonmetallic (for example, polymer composite)
implants, nonporous bioactive
ceramic coatings, or porous-polymer coatings, are specifically
excluded from the scope of this
specification.
The requirements for modular connections of multicomponent modular
femoral hip prostheses are not
covered by this specification.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
