Abstract

See full text

An endoprosthetic acetabular component of overall cup form is improved by the provision of an outer part (100; 300; 500) for securement to bone and a plurality of inner parts (200; 400; 600) individually selectively interconnectable with the outer part in like manner but providing a dished articulating surface (203; 403; 603) in respectively different predetermined positions varying in depth and/or inclination. The interconnection is preferably rotatably adjustable relative to the cup mouth, suitably by the provision of mutually complementary indented/detented surface formations (104,202; 304,402; 505,607) on the parts. The outer part may also be selectable from a range adapted to respectively different manners of securement to bone.
