Executive Summary
MDM X3, a modular dual mobility mobile bearing hip system developed by Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Stryker's orthopaedics division, has received US 510(k) marketing clearance. MDM X3 is designed to address a broad patient population, including both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty candidates and those who may benefit from advanced fixation. The device follows on from Stryker's flagship mobile bearing product, ADM X3, which launched a year ago and contributed to Stryker's strong performance in the hip reconstruction market in 2010 (www.clinica.co.uk, 26 January 2011).
