ABSTRACT:
A modular prosthetic acetabular cup for use in restorative hip replacement is disclosed. The acetabular cup is of modular construction whereby extension members can be attached to an acetabular cup to provide a acetabular cup device with a cross section of a desired configuration. The extension members can be attached to the acetabular cup by means including dovetail joints, mechanical fasteners, and locking taper joints similar to those in femoral hip components.
