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.

Mobile bearing hip assembly and method of performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure

A method for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure on an acetabulum of a patient includes the steps of securing an acetabular shell component to an acetabulum of a patient and securing a first insert to an acetabular shell component configured to be implanted within an acetabulum of a patient. The method further includes the steps of securing a second insert to the first insert such that the outer surface of the second insert contacts the inner surface of the first insert and securing a femoral head configured to be secured to a femoral stem to the second insert such that the outer surface of the femoral head contacts the inner surface of the second insert.
