<p>COTYLE COMPRISING A STERILE INTERFACE The invention relates to a cotyle comprising a metallic insertion acetabular shell (1) having an outer, essentially hemispherical, convex anchoring face formed in such a 5 way as to be anchored in a cotyloid cavity of the pelvis of a patient, and a concave receiving face (3). Said cotyle also comprises a fixed definitive articular ceramic insert (4) having an outer face (5) engaging in the concave receiving face (3) of the metallic insertion acetabular shell (1), and an inner receiving face (6) comprising a concave, essentially hemispherical, articular surface (7) for allowing the engagement and pivoting 10 of a femoral prosthesis head or a mobile articular insert. The cotyle is packed in its assembled sterile state, with the definitive fixed articular ceramic insert (4) engaged in the metallic insertion acetabular shell (1) having a peripheral receiving structure (8) that can receive means for fixing an impacter (14) for positioning a cotyle and is designed in such a way that the impacter (15) can be fixed to the cotyle in the presence of the definitive is fixed articular ceramic insert (4).</p> |
