    -1 METHOD FOR CHECKING CERAMIC BALL HEADS FOR HIP-JOINT PROSTHESES The invention relates to a method for checking ceramic ball heads for hip-joint prostheses, which have a receiving space with a conical side face having a clamping cone angle y and a cone inlet and are subjected to a pressure for checking areas of the receiving space. The required minimum strength of modular, ceramic ball heads is ensured by means of a so called proof test (100%-check). Thereby the conical area of the ball head is hydraulically stressed. This is described in DE 44 11 508 C2. In view of the special geometrics of modular ball heads, under relevant, oblique in-vivo loads, high tensions can occur in the area of the cone inlet. According to present-day knowledge there is still no method (proof test), which checks the cone inlet of modular ball heads and guarantees the required minimum strength within the scope of a 100%-check for this area. 100%-check means, that ball heads with defects break up in the proof test, so that only flawless ball heads pass the proof test. The object of the invention is to improve a method according to the preamble of claim 1, so that all tested ball heads remain operational without damage also in relevant, oblique in-vivo load situations. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
    -2 The method according to the invention for checking ceramic ball heads for hip-joint prostheses, which have a receiving space with a conical side face having a clamping cone angle y and a cone inlet and are subjected to a pressure for checking areas of the receiving space, is distinguished in that only the area of the cone inlet is subjected to a radial force perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ball head. Thereby all tested ball heads remain operational without damage also in in vivo, relevant oblique load situations. For testing, preferably a conical sleeve is pressed into the receiving space at a cone angle a, wherein the cone angle a is greater than the clamping cone angle y. In this way, only the cone inlet is stressed. In one embodiment the cone angle a is selected in the range from 70 to 300, preferably 180 and the distance between clamping cone angle y and cone angle a is to be selected between minimum 20 and maximum 250. It has been proven that the sleeve is preferably closed on the circumferential surface thereof and preferably is made from a copper alloy, preferably brass. Preferably a conical pressure stamp is pressed at a cone angle a identical to the sleeve cone angle axially with a force F into the sleeve. In one embodiment it is ensured, that the friction between sleeve and pressure stamp is lower than the friction between sleeve and ball head.
    -3 Preferably the pressure stamp is fabricated from steel and preferably is surface-hardened. In one embodiment hydraulic pressure is applied to the inner surface of the sleeve for testing. An device for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized in that the device comprises a counter bearing, a conical sleeve and a pressure stamp, wherein all are arranged on a common longitudinal axis and the sleeve and pressure stamp are moveable on the longitudinal axis, and the sleeve is located between the pressure stamp and the counter bearing and the cone angle a is greater than the clamping angle y of a ball head to be checked. Preferably the sleeve has cone angle a, with which the cone angle of the pressure stamp is identical. The invention is further explained hereafter by means of Figures. The invention describes a proof test for the area of the cone inlet 7 (see Figure 1), in which high tensions in the area of the cone inlet 7 are generated by radially acting forces. This can take place hydraulically or mechanically. Figure 1 shows a shaft 9 of a hip-joint prosthesis, which is implanted in the femur. A spacer sleeve 10 is disposed on the shaft head of shaft 9, the outer surface thereof engaging in the receiving space 8 of the ball head 3 and is anchored via a conical clamp at the clamping cone angle y. The ball head 3 is inserted as revolvable in a ceramic guide shell (11).
    -4 The mechanical load unit of the proof test consists of at least two components 1, 2 (see Figure 2), which makes possible a movement relative to one another. Component 1 is a closed conical sleeve and component 2 is a conical pressure stamp, which is inserted in component 2 and in the test is pressed axially with a force F (see Figure 2) into component 1, whereby the cone inlet 7 is impacted radially with a force. The deflection of the radial force F in the radial direction is increased by the relative movement of the two components 1 and 2. The two components 1, 2 are ideally shaped conically on the outer surface thereof. The cone angle a should be greater than the clamping cone angle y of the ball head. For a clamping cone angle y of 5'42'30" the cone of the pressure stamp should be selected in the range from 70 to 300, ideally an angle of 180 is used. For all angle variations a difference between clamping cone angle y and angle a of the pressure stamp of at least 20 to at most 250 is generally recommended. The material of the conical sleeve (component 1) should be sufficiently ductile, to ensure adjustment of the sleeve on the ball head. Additionally, the material of the sleeve must have sufficient strength to withstand the shearing load. Copper alloys come into question as possible materials. Ideally the sleeve (component 1) consists of brass. The conical pressure stamp (component 2) must be significantly harder than the sleeve. Ideally the pressure stamp is surface-hardened. In order to ensure the relative movement between pressure stamp and sleeve, the surface of the conical pressure stamp must be smooth. Ideally the surface of the conical pressure stamp is polished, (Ra < 0.2). Thus it is crucial, that the friction between component 1 and component 2 is significantly less than between component 1 and the -5 ball head. The sleeve is always termed component 1 and vice versa. The pressure stamp is always termed as component 2 and vice versa. To apply the load via a hydraulic system instead of the conical pressure stamp, the inner surface of the sleeve is exposed to hydraulic pressure. For this purpose, sealing may be effected with an O-ring. The sleeve 1 can be conical or cylindrical either on the inside or outside. To perform the proof test, the ball head 3 with outer surface 3a is placed on a counter bearing 4 having a conical recess 6. The angle of the conical recess 6 is designated as P. The ball head 3 is thereby advantageously disposed via a ring 5 on the conical recess 6 of the counter bearing 4. For the proof test, component 1, e.g. the sleeve, is placed with inserted component 2, e.g. the pressure stamp, onto the cone inlet 7 of the ball head 3. The outer cone angle a of component 1 is greater than the clamping cone angle y of the receiving space 8 in ball head 3, so that component 1 exerts a force only on the cone inlet 7. For testing, component 2 is pressed axially with force F in the direction of the ball head. Since component 1 is disposed only on the cone inlet 7 of the ball head 3, the effect of an exerted force is checked only in this area. Through the relative movement of component 2 to component 1, the force on the cone inlet 7 is increased.
    -6 Component 1, e.g. the sleeve is preferably designed to be closed over the entire circumference and, for example, is not slit. It has surprisingly been discovered that slit sleeves cause breaking of the ball head with less application of force than unslit sleeves.
