This part of IsO 7206 specifies the endurance per-formance of stemmed femoral components of totalhip joint prostheses and stemmed femoral components used alone in partial hip joint replacement asdatermined under speclfied laboratory conditions bya method that includes the application of torsion.This part of ISo 7206 does not apply to the following.aprostheses for special clinical casos;

is three dimensionally curved and does not lio inany plane in which the axis of the neck lies.

3 Test conditions.
The femoral component shall be tested in its ready-for-use condrition.
Endurance performance When tested as described in ISO7206-4, the femoralcomponent shall not fracture during 5 x 10cyclesof application of a cyclic load of 2 kN with a minimumload of 300 N and a maximum load of 2,3 kN. Neithershall the tests have been terminated before completion of the loading regime (see ISo 7206-4:1989,subclause 7.8 for reasons other than loosening of thespecimen in the embedding medium.
