NEW ORLEANS, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker Corporation’s Orthopaedics division announced today that it will feature two of its latest hip systems at this year’s annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) conference being held in New Orleans - the Rejuvenate Modular Primary Hip System and the ADM Mobile Bearing Acetabular System with X3. These advancements in hip technology aim to increase implant durability and stability, enhance patient mobility and give surgeons greater choice and efficiency in the operating room.
A testament to its commitment to technological longevity and clinical results through value-based product offerings, Stryker’s Exeter hip stem is celebrating both its 40th anniversary and one millionth manufacturing during 2010. Despite the availability of newer, more expensive hip systems, the UK National Joint Registry confirms that the Exeter hip system is one of the best performing hip systems in the world(1).
Expanding its set of solutions for bone fracture, Stryker’s Trauma & Extremities business will feature three new plating systems: the VariAx Elbow Locking Plate System, the VariAx Fibula Locking Plate System, and the AxSOS Extremity Plating System, all designed to provide a broader range of options for implant size, fixation, and strength.
Stryker will also host a series of educational events at its exhibit booth during the Annual Meeting, titled “Advances in Joint Care.” This series will feature surgeon speakers, recorded surgical cases and hands-on product demonstrations featuring its new technologies, including mobile bearing hips, the Triathlon knee system, Emerging Technologies in Hip Care and the VersiTomic ACL System.
Stryker will be located at Booth 2945 in the Morial Convention Center located at 900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130.
