This practice covers a procedure for the fatigue testing of metallic femoral hip prostheses used in hip joint replacements that utilize proximal metaphyseal fixation and are of a modular construct.

This test method covers a procedure to evaluate acetabular component fatigue, deformation, and wear and femoral head assembly dislocation under dynamic impingement conditions.

This guide specifies a method to measure the in-vivo wear of explanted metal-on-metal and other hard hip components. The guide covers the measurement of acetabular cups and femoral heads using a dimensional change method and is applicable to all prosthetic hip types, including stemmed (modular) and resurfacing hip systems.

This practice is applicable to the calculation of stresses seen on a femoral hip stem when loaded in a manner described in ISO 7206-4 (2010). This method can be used to establish the worst-case size for a particular implant.

This document provides guidance for a range of assessments and evaluations to aid in preclinical research and device development of hard-on-hard total hip replacement and hip resurfacing devices used for the repair of musculoskeletal disorders.

The objective of this guide is to advise researchers on the possible high demand wear test features that should be included in evaluation of hard on hard articulations.
