The test standard describes a number of mechanical tests required for ankle joint implants:  

  • Fatigue testing of the individual components
  • Determination of contact area and contact pressure
  • Determination of the range of motion
  • Constraint data
  • Mechanical performance of connection mechanisms
  • Wear testing
  • Testing of porous surfaces
