This part of ISO 14242 specifies methods of assessment of wear of the acetabular component of total hip-joint prostheses using gravimetric techniques and changes in dimensional form of components tested in accordance with ISO 14242-1.
NOTE Some investigators have experienced problems with organic deposits affecting the results of measurements, especially with hard/hard combinations. No specific precautions are included in this part of ISO 14242, but cleaning techniques adopted should be suitable for the soils produced.
