  • Mobile bearing hip assembly and method of performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure
    Patent number: 9393122
    Abstract: An acetabular hip implant includes an acetabular shell component, a first insert secured to the acetabular shell component, a second insert secured to the first insert, and a femoral head configured to be secured to the second insert. The first insert is permitted to rotate relative to the acetabular shell about a first axis, the second insert is permitted to rotate relative to the first insert about a second axis, and the femoral head is permitted to rotate relative to the second insert about a third axis. A method for performing an orthopedic surgical procedure on an acetabulum of a patient is also disclosed.
