Joint Pain and Treatment Options
What is arthritis?
1) It is the loss of joint surface that covers the bone. This
special surface allows the bones to glide effortlessly,
smoothly and pain-free. (This is the white, pearly
substance on the end of the chicken bone.)
2) It is not to be confused with osteoporosis which is the
loss of bone mass.
3) The loss of this surface, whether partial or complete,
results in variable pain, stiffness, swelling, weakness
and loss of motion.
4) With progression over time it results in the destruction
of the underlying bone and adjacent ligaments.

Enhanced Performance After Surgery
1) My goal as a joint surgeon is to meet the activity
demands of my patients.
2) We now have a more active “older” population.
3) The newer materials now available are more durable
and longer lasting to meet these demands. (ceramics,
high density polyethylene, HA coated components,
metal-on metal.)
4) There are certainly higher risk activities for joint
patients, yet many on the previous slide can be
undertaken by experienced individuals.

Joint Replacement Survival
1) In the 50 year old and greater age group 95% of the
replaced joints are functioning well at over 20 years.
2) In the younger than 50 year old group 70% are
functioning well at 10-15 years after placement.
3) This data does not include the data on the new
ceramic and metal on metal hip replacements.
4) Finally, all joint replacements are now modular. Should
a singular part wear out, it can be replaced with a
simpler, less involved surgery.

MIS is a general term used to describe a surgical
procedure that often utilizes a smaller incision(s) than

Other MIS procedures reduce the amount of soft tissue
(muscles and tendons, etc) that are disrupted during

The US Clinical began in 1996 with Stryker’s first generation ceramic design, called ABC. Trident was added as part of the Study in 1999. Over 1,300 ceramic surgeries were done in the study and “Continued Access” – all prior to FDA approval. Including the control group (metal-poly), over 1500 surgeries were done.
