Who we are

together with you

More than a portfolio. ​

A trusted partner in the

moments that count.​

Trauma care demands rapid decisions, relentless focus and absolute accountability. No matter your role in Trauma, you work at that pace every day. That’s why our partnership is built to match your speed and intensity, ready when the moment arises, responsive when conditions change and committed to the same purpose.

Together with our customers, we've been advancing orthopaedic trauma care dating back to 1939. Continuous R&D. Streamlined instrumentation. Ergonomics directly informed by physician feedback. A pipeline designed to define what's next.

But innovation extends beyond the implant itself. Its impact depends on the people who use it, the systems that support it and the knowledge that surrounds it. That's why we apply the same rigor used to engineer our devices to education, service and the partnerships that help our customers rebuild lives.

Here’s how that partnership takes shape at Stryker Trauma.  

  • A sales force committed to people and results, not promises. Experienced teams who know your hospital, anticipate what’s needed next, earning trust one case at a time
  • Dedicated teams built for trauma, like the Alliance Trauma Value program, bringing strategy, insight and execution together for supply chain and OR leaders  
  • Medical education that addresses your reality, tailored to your hospital, your time and your team  
  • A comprehensive trauma portfolio built for the realities of orthopaedic trauma, designed to support the diverse needs of patients and the teams who care for them

And where care is hardest to reach, our partnership continues. Through global outreach and humanitarian efforts, we extend care to underserved communities. Because as we imagine what’s coming next, we won’t lose sight of what matters most.   

For decades, we've continuously driven trauma care forward. And it all traces back to the same source: The partners who push us, trust us and do whatever it takes.   

For the innovations that move care forward.  
The learners preparing for what’s next.  
The supply chain and OR leaders strengthening their systems.
The patients whose lives are rebuilt.
The missions that expand access.  

Together with you, we are full force.​​

Our history

Trauma-story-image1

Picture the most difficult case you’ve recently experienced. Now picture that same case coming through your doors 87 years ago. That’s where our story begins. ​​

Our history traces back to 1939 where Ernst Pohl, an orthopaedic engineer collaborated with local surgeon Professor Gerhard Küntscher to create an intramedullary nail. Their revolutionary method challenged the proven and established procedures of the time. ​​

Elsewhere Dr. Homer Stryker was doing the equivalent, developing a specially designed positioning bed called the Turning Frame—the same year that Professor Küntscher implanted his first intramedullary nail in Kiel, Germany. ​​

Simultaneously, Raoul Hoffmann designed a new way to reset and fix broken bones without the need for open surgery, and years after, Oswald Leibinger’s company introduced an implant system for craniomaxillofacial surgery made from pure titanium, establishing the technology for small bone plating.​​

All these stories would eventually converge at Stryker—and that’s why our history is rich. Not because we have one, but because we have many.​​
