Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Modular Connection of Proximally Fixed Femoral Hip Prostheses

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method can be used to describe the effects of materials, manufacturing, and design variables on the fatigue performance of metallic femoral hip prostheses subject to cyclic loading for large numbers of cycles.

4.2 The loading of femoral hip designs in vivo will, in general, differ from the loading defined in this test method. The results obtained here cannot be used to directly predict in vivo performance. However, this test method is designed to allow for comparisons between the fatigue performance of different metallic femoral hip designs when tested under similar conditions.

4.3 In order for fatigue data on femoral hip prostheses to be comparable, reproducible, and capable of being correlated among laboratories, it is essential that uniform procedures be established.
