Today, joint replacements are expected to meet greater demands of younger, more active patients and be in service longer than ever before. To meet these demands and reduce the potential for early failure due to osteolysis, alternate bearing surfaces have been developed to minimize the amount of wear in total hip replacements. Laboratory and clinical data indicate that ceramic bearings may be the most significant advancement in total hip wear performance, reducing wear to near undetectable levels.

Stryker proudly introduces the Trident® Ceramic Acetabular System providing several important benefits:

• Minimizes wear
• Designed to protect ceramic from impingement
• Increased intra-operative choices and revision options
• Clinically established acetabular fixation
• Increases wettability
• Expanded range of head sizes
