ASTM F2009 Tensile Test on the Femoral Head

The ASTM F2009 standard specifies a test method for determining the required disassembly force of the taper connection between the femoral head and femoral shaft.

ASTM F2009: Scope and requirements

ASTM F2009-20: Standard Test Method for Determining the Axial Disassembly Force of Taper Connections of Modular Prostheses.

  • A minimum of five tests should be run per head/cone type.
  • Before the test, the head and cone must be joined with a specified force analogous to ISO 7206-10. Preparation of the femoral head is also required to ensure correct fixation.
