ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An acetabular prosthesis comprises a body of plastics material defining a part-spherical socket cavity surrounded by a rim. A flange extends outwardly from the rim. The flange inclines from the rim in the direction of the body and it also inclines from the rim in a direction away from the body, whilst lobes therebetween are correspondingly curved. This arrangement provides for a considerably increased area of bone in the acetabulum to be available as a cementing surface when the prosthesis is fitted into a reamed out hip acetabulum in the special circumstances of the invention which is that the axis of socket cavity 43 extends substantially transversely with no or little anteversion.
