| More than 60 percent of total knee replacement patients are women. Yet, although women have three times the rate of severe arthritis than men, they are less likely to undergo knee or hip replacements, according to a New England Journal of Medicine study. Implants such as Stryker’s Triathlon system, with features designed for the female anatomy, could help more women to choose knee replacement. |
