I heard of a neat system that one of the manufacturers has for people
on their second or third replacement, when the Charnley rasp (the
worst-designed broaching tool ever) can no longer make a suitable
socket.
A truck turns up outside the hospital, the surgeon takes a cast of the
socket in the femur, and then in the truck a laser scans the cast and
machines an implant to exactly the right shape.
