Abstract
A prosthetic system for replacement of a portion of a hip bone including a plurality of acetabular components and a plurality of flange components. The prosthetic system also includes a plurality of pubis components. Each of the pubis components and each of the flange components are operable to connect to each of the acetabular components. Each of the pubis components define a clamping portion that is configured to attach to an opposed healthy pubis bone. An angle between the flange component and the pubis component varies among the acetabular components.
