Abstract
An expandable augment system is provided for use with an acetabular cup. The expandable augment system can include an expandable augment module that is adjustable in size and that can be adjusted incrementally between a fully collapsed state and an expanded state. A first portion of the expandable augment module is attachable to an outer surface of an acetabular cup and a second portion of the expandable augment module is attachable to bone or to a fixed augment module (e.g., a fixed angle augment module) that is attached to bone and interposed between the adjustable augment module and bone.
