ABSTRACT:
A cup for reconstruction of an acetabulum in a pelvis, and a method for installing the apparatus. The cup is generally ellipsoidal in shape, with a rigid keel extending from the convex surface of the cup at a given angle. An ellipsoidal concave cavity is formed in the pelvis, and a stabilization channel is formed into the pelvis, at an angle which is close to, but slightly less than the angle on the keel. The cup is installed in the concave cavity, and the rigid keel is forced into the stabilization channel.
