Total knee replacement is one of the safest and most successful types of surgery; in well over 90% of cases, it is complication-free and results in significant pain relief and restoration of mobility.1
Stryker’s Triathlon® Knee System represents the contribution of over 30 years of clinical success in orthopaedic 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.
Over 60% of total knee replacements are performed on women.2 Triathlon® was designed with women in mind.3 It’s a complete knee system designed to increase motion, decrease wear and fit a woman’s anatomy.
Increased Knee Motion
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.
