PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved metal-on-metal modular hybrid liner for prosthetic joint. SOLUTION: The prosthetic joint assembly includes a shell 12 including an inner surface. The prosthetic joint assembly also includes a bearing member 34 including an outer surface. The bearing member 34 is received by the shell 12 such that the outer surface of the bearing member 34 is adjacent the inner surface of the shell 12. Furthermore, the joint assembly includes a compressible members 50, 56 that are rigidly fixed to the inner surface of the shell or the outer surface of the bearing member 34 to only cover a portion thereof. The compressible members 50, 56 are made of a material that is different from the shell 12 or the bearing member 34. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
