Stryker Orthopaedics today announced the release of the ADM X3 Mobile Bearing Acetabular System, a next-generation technology for hip replacement surgery designed to minimize the risks associated with total hip replacement surgery.
While total hip replacement is one of the most successful surgical procedures performed today, dislocation remains one of the top reported complications. To address dislocation, conventional designs focus on the use of metal-on-metal large head technologies which based on recent studies suggest added risk due to metal ion release. Combining an evolution in design with the only anatomic dual mobility acetabular system and its patented X3 Advanced Bearing Technology, Stryker Orthopaedics Mobile Bearing Hip addresses dislocation without the risk of metal ion release.
