Fatigue testing of femoral stem and femoral neck ISO 7206-4, ISO 7206-6, ASTM F2068, 

ASTM F2068: Standard Specification for Femoral Prostheses – Metallic Implants

ISO 7206-6:2013 Implants for surgery: 

Partial and total hip joint prostheses — Part 6: Endurance properties testing and performance requirements of neck region of stemmed femoral components

ISO 7206-6:2013 specifies test methods and the fatigue performance for the endurance properties, under specified laboratory conditions, of the neck region of stemmed femoral components of total hip joint prostheses and stemmed femoral components used alone in partial hip joint replacement. It is applicable to modular and non-modular designs made of metallic or non-metallic materials.

It also specifies the test conditions so that the important parameters that affect the hip femoral components are taken into account and describes how the specimen is set up for testing.

In the ISO 7206-4 standard, the dynamic load of the hip prosthesis rod during the movement of a loosened implant was simulated to test the service life of the rod. ISO 7206-4 specifies the cyclic load and number of cycles to determine the durability characteristics of femoral rods. At least six femoral rods must withstand five million load cycles, with a maximum load of 2300 N and a minimum load of 300 N.
