An acetabular cup assembly for use with a femoral implant. The cup assembly includes an outer shell, a bearing liner configured to fit into a cavity in the shell, a generally annular retaining ring and a locking ring configured to hold the retaining ring in the shell adjacent the bearing liner. The locking ring is slidable between locked and free configurations, with at least part of the locking ring being formed as a closed loop to prevent radial contraction of the locking ring inner surface as the locking ring is slid between the free and locked configurations. At least one small circumferential rib is formed on the outer surface of the locking ring to engage a corresponding circumferential groove in the shell when the locking ring is installed therein in the locked configuration.

Cupule cotyloïde destinée à un implant fémoral. La cupule comprend une coquille externe, une garniture de coussinet conçue de manière à s'adapter dans une cavité de la coquille, une bague de retenue généralement annulaire et une bague de verrouillage conçue de manière à maintenir la bague de retenue dans la coquille adjacente à la garniture de coussinet. La bague de verrouillage peut être coulissée entre les éléments fermés et les éléments libres, au moins une partie de la bague de verrouillage étant en forme de boucle fermée afin de prévenir le rétrécissement radial de la surface intérieure de la bague de verrouillage, lorsque la bague de verrouillage est coulissée entre les éléments libres et les éléments fermés. Au moins une petite arête sphérique est formée sur la surface extérieure de la bague de verrouillage afin de permettre l'engagement d'un onglet sphérique correspondant dans la coquille lorsque la bague de verrouillage est installée dans l'élément fermé.
