ABSTRACT:
A plug for apertures in an acetabular cup is provided. The plug is particularly useful in plugging screw holes. The plug helps to prevent plastic particles from a plastic bearing seated within the cup, from migrating through the aperture into the bone cavity or acetabulum surrounding the acetabular cup.
