FR Recognition Number 11-341
Standard
ASTM F3140-17
Standard Test Method for Cyclic Fatigue Testing of Metal Tibial Tray Components of Unicondylar Knee Joint Replacements
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This test method covers a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in partial knee joint replacements.
1.2 This test method covers the procedures for the performance of fatigue tests on metallic tibial components using a cyclic, constant-amplitude force. It applies to tibial trays which cover either the medial or the lateral plateau of the tibia.
1.3 This test method may require modifications to accommodate other tibial tray designs.
1.4 This test method is intended to provide useful, consistent, and reproducible information about the fatigue performance of metallic tibial trays with unsupported midsection of the condyle.
