The direction of wear in the acetabular socket has implications for the amount of debris that is generated during movement, for the magnitude of eccentric loading and for the incidence of impingement of the neck. We observed the direction of penetration with respect to a global co-ordinate system in 84 acetabular components retrieved at reoperation. The mean direction of wear relative to the open face of the sockets was found to be 37deg with a range from Oo to 87o. For those values determined using the inclination of the socket on the prerevision radiograph, the mean direction of penetration ...
