Shoulder Implant Testing

Although shoulder replacements are less common than replacements of the lower extremities (such as knees and hips), total shoulder replacements can be very beneficial in eliminating the effects of arthritis, severe fractures, and other joint problems. СAPP performs fatigue testing, glenoid shear and glenoid loosening, and shoulder constraint testing to ASTM standards and custom protocols, and tests for shoulder replacement wear testing per unique, in-house methods.

Foot and Ankle Implant Testing

With recent advances in the design of total ankle replacements, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) states “total ankle replacement (TAR) is fast becoming the treatment of choice for many patients with ankle arthritis and other disorders.” As a result, СAPP offers ankle replacement testing, including fatigue, constraint, and wear testing in accordance with ASTM F2665.
