PI-73: Fatigue Testing of Total Knee Femoral Components under Closing Conditions

The fatigue test, according to ASTM F3210 or PI-73, is intended to determine the fatigue behavior of knee femoral components under closing conditions. This test method simulates a clinically severe condition in which all bony support is lost, and one single condyle supports the complete load at 90° of tibiofemoral flexion.
