Abstract
A prosthetic implant is disclosed comprising: a first component comprising a first inner surface and a first outer surface, a second component comprising a second outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the first inner surface, the second component further comprising a second inner surface, a third component comprising a third outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the second inner surface, the third component further comprising a third inner surface, and a fourth component comprising a fourth outer surface adapted to contact and engage with the third inner surface; wherein the second component is rotatable relative to the first component about a first axis, the third component is rotatable relative to the second component about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and the fourth component is rotatable relative to the third component about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and second axis; the first inner surface and the second outer surface are each formed with a first partial cylindrical shape, the first inner surface and the second outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the first axis and are engageable with one another such that the second component is rotatable relative to the first component about the first axis only, the second inner surface and the third outer surface are each formed with a second partial cylindrical shape, the second inner surface and the third outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the second axis and are engageable with one another such that the third component is rotatable relative to the second component about the second axis only, and the third inner surface and the fourth outer surface are each formed with a third partial cylindrical shape, the third inner surface and the fourth outer surface each comprise a flat surface normal to the third axis and are engageable with one another such that the fourth component is rotatable relative to the third component about the third axis only.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
