Test Methods for Absorbable Plates and Screws
Describes the mechanical characterization and test methods for absorbable plates and screws made from hydrolytically degradable polymer resins or resin composites for orthopaedic internal fixation. Test methods aim to assess the performance-related mechanical properties when applied to conditions of pretreatment, temperature, humidity, and testing machine speed. The standard may not be applicable to all forms of absorbable plates and screws.
