ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to universal liner assemblies for use during hip joint replacement surgeries, kits providing a plurality of universal liners, and methods of manufacturing and implanting the universal liners. The universal liners allow the surgeon a greater degree of selection of liners and shells, without being tied to typical liner/shell connections based on material connection constraints.
