Alteon Neck Preserving Stem

Developed for primary femoral solutions, the Alteon® Neck Preserving Femoral Stem shares the proven features of conventional stems. Unlike traditional stems, the Neck Preserving Stem was designed to conserve more bone.

Features and Benefits

Neck Preserving

  • A conservative treatment option, designed for maintaining the maximum amount of proximal femoral bone.1

Stability

  • Achieving initial stability is important to enable biologic fixation.2

Efficiency

  • With a curved geometry and broach-only system, the implant is designed to preserve host bone and follow the native anatomy.
