ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems and devices related to prosthetic implants, including a device for preventing prosthetic components from separating from each other, and more specifically to an assembly for adapting a prosthetic component to receive a device for preventing an implant stem head from dislocating from a prosthetic component. Methods, systems and devices according to this invention seek to provide improved orthopedic prosthetic components and more specifically, improved constrained components that may be utilized with existing implanted prosthetic components. Liner assemblies and systems according to various embodiments of this invention may include an adapter component designed to link current prosthetic cup geometry to a constrained liner, while providing optimal range of motion and sufficient lever out.
