ISO 7206-13 is the test method for the torque required to loosen the fixation between a femoral head and the neck or stem cone of a hip prosthesis. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 7206-13 Covers
It measures the resistance of the head-to-stem taper junction to loosening, part of hip-implant verification.
How the Test Is Run
An assembled head and stem are held and torque is applied to rotate the head relative to the cone, and the torque to loosen the fixation is recorded.
Why It Matters
Taper-junction fixation governs hip-implant assembly reliability; a torsion setup and correct implant fixturing are essential.
