Alteon Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem

Incorporates specific design features to achieve immediate axial and rotational mechanical stability between the lateral and medial cortices of the femoral canal.

Features and Benefits

Intuitive

  • Optimized overall length and proximal/distal sizing to achieve fixation in all primary femur types (Dorr A,B,C) without compromising implant features or surgical technique.1

Stable

  • Medial/lateral filling implant with a pronounced lateral flare geometry is designed to evenly distribute the load in the proximal femur and provide initial mechanical stability.2

Versatile

  • Four neck length groupings and an array of stem sizes/offsets provide multiple options to restore patient anatomy without the need for modularity.
