Features & Benefits

Versatile Stability for All Femur Types

The Alteon® Tapered Wedge Femoral Stems incorporate specific design features intended to achieve immediate axial and rotational mechanical stability between the medial and lateral cortices of the femoral canal.

The Alteon® Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem is a press-fit implant designed to provide immediate axial and rotational stability across all primary femur types, including Dorr A, B, and C. With optimized proximal/distal geometry, incremental sizing, and a shorter stem option designed to reduce distal potting, it offers surgeons greater flexibility without compromising technique. Paired with the streamlined ExacSET instrumentation, this system supports efficient workflows and precise fit for a wide range of patients.

Optimized overall length and proximal/distal sizing designed 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.
