A prosthetic component assembly, such as an acetabular cup, includes a
shell, a bearing positioner and a bearing. The shell and bearing
positioner are configured to facilitate orienting the bearing positioner
in multiple orientations relative to the shell and for securing the
bearing positioner in a selected orientation of the multiple orientations
relative to the shell. The bearing is configured to be received in the
bearing positioner at multiple rotational orientations for optimal joint
biomechanics. The bearing positioner is selected from among a plurality
of lateralized positioners to accommodate the joint anatomy.
