ISO 7206 Hip Fatigue Testing
Under ISO 7206-4, the femoral stem is potted in cement and subjected to 5 million cycles at $2.3\,\text{kN}$ test load inclined at $10^\circ$ adduction and $9^\circ$ flexion. The resultant cantilever moment produces high cyclic tensile stresses along the lateral aspect of the stem neck.
