Abstract
A joint replacement system that includes an acetabular cup implant that has an outer surface, a drill bit that has a cutting surface, and a guide separately formed from the acetabular cup implant. The guide has a body that defines first and second guide openings each adapted to receive the drill bit. The system also includes void filler prosthesis that has an implant facing surface and first and second portions connected to the implant facing surface. The first and second portions each have an outer surface that has a geometry corresponding to the cutting surface of the drill bit such that the first and second portions can be received in respective openings in a bone formed by the drill bit.
