ASTM F2979 Standard guide for Characterization of Wear from the Articulating Surfaces in Retrieved Metal-on-Metal and other Hard-on-Hard Hip Prostheses  


This guide specifies a method to measure the in-vivo wear of explanted Metal-on-Metal (MoM) or other “hard-on-hard” (e.g. Ceramic-on-Ceramic) hip components. The guide covers the measurement of acetabular cups and femoral heads using a dimensional change method and is applicable to all prosthetic hip types, including stemmed (modular) and resurfacing hip systems.
