An orthopaedic prosthetic system includes a plate having one or more flanges and an acetabular shell component. Each flange includes a surface configured to engage a patient's bone. The plate also includes a central ring that engages a lip extending from an outer surface of the shell component. The ring may be mechanically attached to the lip using multiple fasteners. The system may include multiple plates each having a different configuration from other plates, and may also include multiple shell components each having a different configuration from other shell components. Methods for assembling and using the prosthetic system are also disclosed.
