Stryker’s Triathlon® Knee System represents the contribution of over 30 years of clinical success in orthopedic implants. It utilizes the latest in knee technology to help increase the extent to which you will be able to restore motion in your knee after surgery. The Triathlon® Knee is designed for natural knee movement, helping to relieve your pain and restore your independence.
Restoring motion in your knee is likely one of the reasons you are considering knee replacement. Motion, the bending (flexing), straightening (extension) and rotation of your knee, affects your ability to perform everyday activities. The Triathlon® Knee System allows for natural knee motion and up to 150° of flexion. How much flexion do you need?
Many things including patient weight, activity level as well as the implant’s bearing surface technology, can affect the longevity of the implant. The bearing surface is defined as the two parts of the knee that glide together throughout motion. Stryker’s new, advanced bearing technology, called X3®, has demonstrated a 96% decrease in wear in laboratory testing compared to competitive premium bearing technology.1 This decrease in wear may extend the life of your implant. This new technology is particularly important for younger patients.
The design of Triathlon® offers a wide range of sizing options that closely match both the female and male anatomy.
