ISO 7206-10: Determination of resistance to static load of modular femoral heads

These tests are performed to determine the force required to disassemble the taper connections of modular prostheses.

The ASTM F2009 standard applies to all tapered connections of modular prostheses, such as total or partial hip or shoulder prostheses. The ISO 7206-10 standard is specific to hip femoral heads and describes the method to establish the tension load to disassemble modular head systems.

Introducing load without shear is a critical requirement for reliable test results. Shear-free load application ensures that forces act purely axially, without introducing unintended side stresses. Achieving this demands not only the right equipment but also the expertise to set it up correctly.
