ASTM F1800-12 Standard Practice for Cyclic Fatigue Testing of Metal Tibial Tray Components of Total Knee Joint Replacements

This standard specifies a procedure for fatigue testing of metallic tibial trays used in knee joint replacements.

This standard specifies procedures for performing fatigue tests on metallic tibial components using a cyclic, constant amplitude force. It applies to tibial trays that cover both the medial and lateral plateaus of the tibia. May require modifications to accommodate other tibial tray designs.

This standard aims to provide useful, consistent and repeatable information on the fatigue performance of metallic tibial trays with an unsupported condyle.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
