New Hip Replacement Technology

I recently attended a lecture about the recently released Stryker ADM X3 mobile bearing hip replacement system. I was very intrigued by this product and thought I would pass some information on this new technology along to my patients.

The Stryker ADM X3 hip replacement system is the first anatomic mobile bearing hip system from Stryker. This device is designed to offer the benefits of a large diameter bearing without metal-on-metal articulation. Meaning that the combination of a mobile bearing hip design and the advanced bearing technology allow this hip replacement system to wear better and offer more stability for the "active" patient.

With the implementation of the ADM X3 hip replacement device, the patient exhibits a greater range of motion, may reduce the risk of groin pain caused by iliopsoas tendon impingement, designed to help minimize the risk of wear and consequently may prolong the life of the implant (X3 laboratory testing shows a 97% reduction in wear compared to conventional polyethylene), and based on laboratory testing, ADM allows more than 3 times greater jump distance than competitive hard-on-hard bearings.

    This information will of great help to the public. Knowing this new developed technology will lessen the victims of this hip implant failure. I read an article about this hip implant failures in http://www.rotlaw.com/depuy-pinnacle/, and I felt sorry to the patients that have suffered excruciating pain caused by these faulty devices.
