CONTAINED IN VOL. 13.01, 2015 Specifies a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in knee joint replacements.

1.1This practice covers a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in knee joint replacements. This practice covers the procedures for the performance of fatigue tests on metallic tibial components using a cyclic, constant-amplitude force. It applies to tibial trays which cover both the medial and lateral plateaus of the tibia. This practice may require modifications to accommodate other tibial tray designs.

1.2This practice is intended to provide useful, consistent, and reproducible information about the fatigue performance of metallic tibial trays with one unsupported condyle.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
