Abstract
The present invention essentially relates to a hip joint socket system for a “press-fit” anchorage in the bony acetabulum that allows the inserts that articulate with the artificial head to be connected securely, and, using said inserts, also allows the center of the rotation of the socket to be reconstructed, the risk of luxation to be eliminated, and the plane of load application to be varied across an infinite range of positions within a defined angular range.
