What is Stryker Accolade 2 made of?
The ACCOLADE II Femoral Hip System is a femoral stem that is intended for cementless, press-fit application. The proximal region of the stem is coated with PureFix HA over a commercially pure titanium plasma spray substrate.
How long do Stryker knees last?
In 85% to 90% of people who have a total knee replacement, the knee implants used will last about 15 to 20 years. This means that some patients who have a knee replacement at a younger age may eventually need a second operation to clean the bone surfaces and refixate the implants.

How much does a Stryker knee cost?
Stryker is launching its Triathlon total knee on its Mako robotic system, reportedly priced at $1 million, at a time of bundled payments and cost consciousness in joint replacement procedures.
Is there nickel in Stryker Triathlon knee replacement?
The majority of standard TKA systems are traditionally made with cobalt chromium alloy and occasionally titanium or zirconium. The cobalt chrome alloy does contain a mixture of metals including nickel that are linked to metal hypersensitivity.
Can you ever cross your legs after hip replacement?
You shouldn’t cross your legs or, if you’ve had a total hip replacement, you should not roll the surgical leg inward or outward. DO NOT pivot on your affected leg. If you need to turn while walking, fully stop and lift your foot to change direction.
How long do Stryker hips last?
Studies suggest that 90 percent of knee and hip replacements still function well 10 to 15 years after they’re implanted, but recent joint replacement innovations may make them last even longer.
How much does a Stryker hip implant cost?
The Stryker Mako robot sells for $1.25 million for the robot itself, and an added $100,000 service contract is needed every year as well. The robot also uses $1,000 in extra disposable equipment for each case. The cost of the actual implant varies; however, typically the purchase price tag is around $5,500.
Is Stryker Accolade metal or ceramic?
It’s made from polyethylene, a type of plastic designed to increase range of motion, improve joint stability and reduce the risk of wear. Stryker also sells numerous femoral components, including press-fit stems, cemented stems and revision components.
What metal is Stryker Triathlon knee made of?
The Triathlon Tritanium Metal-Backed Patella* features Stryker’s Tritanium 3D porous metal technology, made from commercially pure titanium, on the metal underside of the patella .
How long will a Stryker knee replacement last?

- Don’t cross your legs.
- Don’t twist or pivot at the hip.

When did the Stryker X3 come out?
Following on from the Crossfire highly cross linked polyethylene manufactured by Stryker, the X3 was introduced to the market in 2005.
Does the X3 have a clinical evidence base?
As the X3 is a relatively new introduction to the market, clinical evidence base is somewhat lacking, however a trial examining wear rates using radiostereometric methods has found low rates, comparable to laboratory values. (Campbell et al, 2010)
Why choose X3 knee liners for arthroplasty?
(Herrera et al, 2007) The X3 has also demonstrated an advantage over conventional hip liner regardless of roughening of head material. (Lee et al, 2009) The X3 knee arthroplasty polyethylene wear rates were found to be reduced by 79% and 77%; this was unaffected by accelerated aging.
How does the X3 compare to polyethylene?
Lab based hip-simulator tests have demonstrated a 70% reduction in wear over earlier generation polyethylene. The X3 shows good oxidation resistance in comparison to a non-irradiated polyethylene.
