The Triathlon Total Knee System is a primary total knee replacement system designed to work with the body. Triathlon has been implanted in over 3 million patients worldwide. Triathlon Total Knee is available for use with the Mako System for Mako Total Knee.
Designed to work with the body
With over 15 years and over 3 million implantations worldwide, Triathlon has a long clinical history.1-3 In a 10-year follow-up study, Triathlon showed 99% survivorship. Triathlon was designed to incorporate some of the most studied features of Stryker’s prior designs that have been shown to address many of the main reasons for revision TKA, such as instability, patellofemoral tracking complications and loosening/osteolysis.
The Triathlon knee system offers surgeons a variety of options depending on disease, deformity and patient demand including cruciateretaining, condylar-stabilizing, posterior-stabilizing and difficult primary options. Studies have shown that Triathlon and the single radius provide:
Stability: Triathlon’s single radius design allows for mid-flexion stability.4-6 A single vs. multi-radius functional outcome study concluded that Triathlon’s advantages in stability, walking, stair climbing and knee straightening stem from the single radius design, particularly its longer moment arm and enhanced ligament stability based on maintained isometry throughout knee range of motion. A fluoroscopic study on Triathlon patients showed the femoral component was kinematically stabilized in mid-flexion ranges.
