Fatigue Testing of Finger Implants
Orthopaedic fixation devices are used during reconstructive surgery to treat fractures of bones and soft tissue injuries normally caused by trauma. Devices, such as bone plates, compression screws and femoral nails, are used to provide stability and maintain the alignment of bone fragments during the healing process. Quantification of important characteristics, such as bending strength or stiffness, can provide surgeons with insight into implant performance, while allowing researchers to compare device materials and designs. The fatigue life of the implant over a specific time period or range of maximum loading must also be determined.
Typically following ASTM guidelines, fixtures are often unique to the objective and application of the tests and results.
