ALTEON™ Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Exactech Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem is designed for primary hip replacement surgeries, focusing on surgeon ease and patient outcomes. Exactech, Inc. emphasizes that it does not provide medical advice and recommends consulting the product package insert for detailed information.

Proximal/Distal Geometry: The stem features optimized length and sizing to ensure fixation across all primary femur types (Dorr A, B, C) without compromising implant features or surgical techniques.

Incremental Sizing: The system offers four neck length groupings and various stem sizes/offsets to restore patient anatomy without neck modularity. The stem grows at a smaller rate laterally and distally in smaller sizes compared to previous generations, providing more size options.

Platform Instrumentation: The hip system includes a set of common femoral instruments usable across multiple stems, enhancing surgical efficiency.

Scope & Materials: The stem scope includes sizes 1-15, with optional sizes 16 and 17. It offers standard and extended offsets, with all stems being press-fit and featuring a Thermal Plasma Spray (TPS) coating on the proximal portion.

Design Features: The Alteon Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem is designed for immediate axial and rotational stability within the femoral canal, accommodating various surgical approaches.
