ASTM F2068: Standard Specification for Femoral Prostheses – Metallic Implants

ISO 7206-4 Implants for surgery: Partial and total hip joint prostheses — Part 4: Determination of endurance properties and performance of stemmed femoral components

Specification for fatigue testing and determining coating integrity of femoral THR stems. Fatigue testing can be performed according to ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6. Samples are tested for 10 million cycles. Coating integrity can be assessed according to ASTM F1044 (shear strength), ASTM F1147 (tensile strength) and ASTM F1978 (abrasion resistance).

ASTM F2068 specification covers metallic stemmed femoral prostheses used to replace the natural hip joint by means of hemi-arthroplasty or total hip surgical procedures. Prostheses for hemi-arthroplasty are intended to articulate with the natural acetabulum of the patient. Prostheses for total hip replacement are intended to articulate with prosthetic acetabular cups. Prostheses may have integral femoral heads or cones designed to accept modular heads.

ISO 7206‑4:2010 specifies a test method for determining the endurance properties of stemmed femoral components of total hip joint prostheses and stemmed femoral components used alone in partial hip joints under specified laboratory conditions. It also defines the conditions of testing so that the important parameters that affect the components are taken into account, and describes how the specimen is set up for testing.

ISO 7206‑4:2010 specifies the test parameters and the requirements for the endurance limit of stemmed femoral components tested in accordance with this document. The value of the endurance limit test forces and the corresponding number of load cycles are specified.
