Overview

The liner is the bearing surface on the acetabular side of a total hip: it articulates with the femoral head and has to stay locked in the shell. HECTOR liners are made of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and lock into the HECTOR acetabular shell with a double locking mechanism. They are offered in 0° and 20° options.

Design rationale

Cross-linked polyethylene

The liner is made of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). It articulates with a HECTOR CoCr femoral head matched to the liner's inner diameter.

Double locking

A double locking mechanism holds the liner in the shell. Its ears are intended to stop it rotating.

0° and 20° options

Two liner geometries, 0° and 20°, are offered for the HECTOR shell. The 20° liner has an elevated rim that is placed where the hip tends to dislocate. The choice is made during surgery, before the final liner is impacted.

Exchange at revision

A liner, once impacted into its shell, should not be reassembled. The locking design allows a new liner to be fitted to a shell already in place, during surgery or at revision.
