With revision surgery in mind, the Triathlon Hinge Femoral component offers a built-in 5mm distal augment compared to Triathlon TS femurs.
The built-in augments are designed to reduce the number of surgical steps needed and may help minimize the need to use additional stand-alone augments.
Models Triathlon TS boss location
Triathlon Hinge models Triathlon TS anatomic boss location relative to the anterior flange, which has been shown to reduce the need for offsetting3-5 compared to clinically successful6 predicate hinge.
The updated boss location is designed to minimize posterior resection5 compared to the predicate hinge.
Femoral sizing
The sizing for the Triathlon Hinge femur has been standardized to match that of our existing Triathlon Femurs. In a validated model,7 Triathlon Hinge demonstrated enhanced patellar fixation and tracking within the trochlear groove compared to the clinically successful6 predicate design, mirroring the performance observed in primary systems.8
