ASTM F1440 1992 Edition, September 15, 1992 Standard Practice for Cyclic Fatigue Testing of Metallic Stemmed Hip Arthroplasty Femoral Components Without Torsion
More info
Description / Abstract:
This practice describes a method for the fatigue testing of
metallic stemmed femoral components used in hip arthroplasty. The
described method is intended to be used to evaluate the comparison
of various designs and materials used for stemmed femoral
components used in the arthroplasty. This practice covers
procedures for the performance of fatigue tests using (as a forcing
function) a periodic constant amplitude force.
This practice applies primarily to one-piece prostheses and modular components, with head in place such that prostheses should not have an anterior/posterior bow, and should have a nearly straight section on the distal 50 mm of the stem. This practice may require modifications to accommodate other femoral stem designs.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
For additional information see Refs. (1-5) .
