Comparative study reveals no clinical advantages of mobile bearing knee systems over fixed bearing knee systems
“…recent FDA-monitored Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study found no statistical difference in clinical outcomes between its mobile bearing and traditional fixed bearing knee systems. In contrast, Stryker continues to be very pleased with the success of its fixed bearing Triathlon Knee System with X3 Advanced Bearing Technology, which offers significant advantages over mobile bearing knees on wear rates and overall value.”
