A system and method for improving installation of a prosthesis, particularly an acetabular cup. The system and method may include implementation of a constant velocity relative motion between a prosthesis and an installation site. For example, an installation system may be fixed relative to the installation site, with the prosthesis fixed into an initial position. The prosthesis is moved at constant speed (i.e., with minimal if any acceleration or applied impulses) relative to the installation site. That is, one or both of the prosthesis or the installation site may be in motion. Resistive forces to installation of a prosthesis may thus be reduced by maintaining the prosthesis constantly in motion relative to the installation site. Securing a processing/implanting tool directly to the installation site may offer advantages.

Prosthesis installation and assembly

A system and method for allowing any surgeon, including those surgeons who perform a fewer number of a replacement procedure as compared to a more experienced surgeon who performs a greater number of procedures, to provide an improved likelihood of a favorable outcome approaching, if not exceeding, a likelihood of a favorable outcome as performed by a very experienced surgeon with the replacement procedure.

An illumination device (10) for a phonograph record (18) has a housing (14) and bolts (22) for attaching the housing (14) to a phonograph tone arm (12). A battery (26) in the housing (14) and a contact switch (32) on the housing are connected to activate a timing circuit (28) for supplying current from the battery (26) to a light emitting diode (30). The light emitting diode (30) is positioned to illuminate an area around point (36) that stylus (20) contacts the record for a predetermined of time after the contact switch (32) is closed.
