Standard Patellar Component Specifications
This standard describes the materials, geometries, and performance requirements for patellar resurfacing devices. The standard lists relevant failure modes that should be tested and considered when determining the safety and efficacy of the knee device. The OIC can perform a series of static and dynamic testing for shear and stress analysis, and to evaluate contact area and pressure distributions. Additionally, the durability of the patellofemoral device can be tested according to ISO 14243-5.
