A plurality of canine acetabular cups designed to fit within different sized spherical reamed bone cavities to produce controlled interference without use of cements, screws or nails. Each of the canine acetabular cups, regardless of size, mates with a common femoral head, providing interchangeability. The controlled interference is obtained through use of a multiple curvature Ti-Al-V shell having a porous coating. The interference starts from zero at 50 degrees from the apex of the shell and extends to full interference value at 90 degrees from the apex. The Ti-Al-V shell carries a UHMW polyethylene insert, which is locked by interference, a non-circular post mated with an elongated opening and a circumferential locking groove mated with an interior projection. Initial stability is provided immediately after surgery due to the interference arrangement; long term stability is afforded by bone ingrowth.
