Abstract
This section describes the different types of Charnley hip socket. It is hoped that the whole range of sockets in time will be replaced by one single type and size of PIJ design which can be cut down to suit all sizes of adult acetabulum. The very small (35-mm-diameter) socket with offset bore will be the only exception. Until this policy comes into action it is necessary to describe the range as it exists at the moment (1978).
