ISO 14879-1: Endurance (fatigue) testing of knee tibial trays

← Back to all standards

ISO 14879-1 is the test method for the endurance properties of tibial trays used in total knee-joint prostheses. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 14879-1 Covers

It evaluates the fatigue endurance of knee tibial trays, part of implant verification for total knee replacements.

How the Test Is Run

A tibial tray is mounted and cyclically loaded under defined conditions until failure or run-out, and the endurance performance is evaluated.

Why It Matters

Fatigue endurance governs the safe service life of knee implants; a fatigue-rated machine and anatomically correct fixturing are essential.
