Standard Test Methods for Determining the Static Failure Load of Ceramic Knee Femoral Components

Importancia y uso:

5.1 These test methods are intended to determine the ultimate failure load of a ceramic femoral knee component. This information can be used for evaluation of different ceramic component designs or different ceramic materials, or for series production control.

5.2 Although the test methodology described attempts to identify physiologically relevant intraoperative and in vivo loading conditions, the interpretation of results is limited to an in vitro comparison between ceramic femoral component designs and materials regarding their static ultimate failure load under the stated test conditions.
