She was one of the first orthopaedic surgeons to sensitize the orthopaedic community and the prosthetic manufacturing industry to the major pitfalls of modularity. Since then, the design of cementless acetabular components by every single manufacturer in the prosthetic industry has changed. The direct consequence of this work has been the elimination of unnecessary screws and screw holes for primary cup fixation, the radical improvement in the locking mechanisms between metal-back and liner, and a substantial improvement in the tolerances accepted between metal-back and liner.
