Leading London orthopaedic surgeon Warwick Radford says: “Charnley’s successful metal on plastic hip replacement had the smallest diameter (22mm) of any design of hip replacement (then and now). Small diameters result in less friction but are more likely to dislocate. So a larger diameter ball is desirable both for stability (i.e. less likely to dislocate) and for greater range of movement.”
