ASTM F3210: Standard Test Method for Fatigue Testing of Total Knee Femoral Components Under Closing Conditions
The fatigue test, according to ASTM F3210, 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.
