PI-14: Compression Test Hip Ball static/dynamic  


The modular connection between the ball and the stem of a hip endoprostheses is loaded until failure. The ball is placed on a conical bore with a copper ring to ensure an even load distribution. Fatigue testing of ceramic head systems is also available at EndoLab® in an internal procedure PI-14 and meets the requirements given by ASTM F2345 as well as FDA guidance documents.
Pull-off testing according to ASTM F2009 and ISO 7206-10 is possible and described in Ball Pull-off tests ASTM F2009.
