ASTM F2996 Standard Practice for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Non-Modular Metallic Orthopaedic Hip Femoral Stems


This standard establishes requirements and considerations for developing Finite Element models to evaluate static implant stresses and strains of non-modular metallic orthopaedic hip stem designs. It can be used for worst-case assessment within a family of implant sizes to reduce the need for physical testing. The boundary conditions are set-up according to ISO 7206-4.

UnitedTest UTDS electromagnetic equipment provides precise sinusoidal load control with stable peak values, and can offer you comprehensive testing tools (such as embedding tools, testing tools, etc.) to meet the testing conditions required in the standards, along with precise and effective testing solutions (SOP), assisting in the mechanical performance analysis of the femoral condyle.


Core Purpose: It standardizes the development of finite element models for evaluating the design of the above - mentioned femoral stems. It provides model inspection and verification procedures to ensure that the analysis process complies with specifications. Additionally, it can identify the worst - case size among a series of implants of the same design, so as to reduce the workload of physical testing. It also specifies the content requirements of the engineering report related to mechanical simulation.


Relevant Supporting and Collaborative Standards

It is closely linked with ISO 7206 - 4, which provides the basis for the loading method in the finite element analysis process. Domestically, it also has corresponding reference counterparts, such as China's YY/T 1714 - 2020 standard, which has relevant provisions consistent with its core technical requirements for the finite element calculation of hip femoral stem prostheses.


Application Fields
It is mainly used in the field of orthopaedic medical devices, involving the R&D and performance evaluation of non - modular metallic hip femoral stems by medical device enterprises, the related scientific research of academic institutions on hip implants, and the regulatory inspection of hip prostheses by regulatory agencies. For example, it can be applied to the stress analysis of cemented or uncemented metal - polymer hip prostheses and other products.

Test Method Framework

ASTM F2996 establishes a comprehensive protocol for performing static structural finite element analysis of non-modular metallic hip femoral stems to estimate stresses and strains under simulated loading conditions. The standard provides a systematic approach for:


Creating FEA models that represent the implant's geometry and material properties;
Applying standardized loading and boundary conditions;
Performing verification and validation procedures;
Documenting results in a consistent format.
