Embodiment Construction
[0041] The following description of the preferred embodiment(s) is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.
[0042] Methods and structures according to this invention seek to improve the range of motion of the femoral component of a hip prosthesis by varying the rim surface geometry of the rim of an acetabular shell liner in which the femoral component articulates. Varying the geometry of the rim surface relative to the internal concave surface opening or axis of the liner at different areas on the liner allows for optimization of the rim surface geometry, thus providing an increased range of motion. A variable geometry rim surface liner according to this invention has an overall range of motion generally at least comparable to a conventional constant geometry rim surface liner.
[0043] Optimization of the acetabular shell liner rim surface geometry requires consideration of many elements in the design of the liner, includi...
