Hip Alteon Primary Tapered Wedge Stem

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.
