ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic implant includes first, second and third components. The first component is configured to be disposed within the acetabulum. The second component is in a load bearing relationship with the first component, and is operable to rotate in a first axis of rotation. The second component is inhibited from movement in a second axis of rotation. The third component is in a load bearing relationship with the second component. The third component is operable to rotate in the second axis of rotation, but is inhibited from movement with the first axis of rotation.
