Modular Knee Implant Testing Guide

This guide suggests areas of modular hip and knee implants for design evaluation and testing. The modular connections may be tested in static to measure forces during assembly (axial and torsional) and disassembly (axial, shear, bending, and torsional). Modular connections shall also be tested in cyclic fatigue to assess how the design withstands and is affected by cyclic loading while considering other factors such as sterilization, corrosion, and fretting. Our team can help determine and perform the applicable test methods on the modular connections of your total knee system.
