Claim 0:
1. An orthopaedic prosthetic system comprising:
a plate comprising a central ring and one or more flanges, wherein a plurality of apertures are defined in the central ring, and wherein each flange of the one or more flanges extends radially away from a corresponding predetermined position on the central ring, and wherein each of the one or more flanges includes a proximal surface to engage a patient's bone; and
an acetabular shell component comprising a distal rim, a convex outer wall extending from the distal rim, and a circumferential lip positioned on the outer wall and extending away from the outer wall, wherein the lip is separated from the distal rim by a lateralization distance, and wherein the lip defines a first imaginary plane and the distal rim defines a second imaginary plane, the first and second imaginary planes being non-parallel to each other to define an inclination angle therebetween that is greater than zero, and wherein a plurality of apertures are defined in the lip;
wherein the plate is configured to be positioned on the acetabular shell component such that each aperture of the central ring is aligned with a corresponding aperture of the lip of the acetabular shell component;
wherein when the plate is positioned on the acetabular shell component, a proximal surface of the central ring engages a distal surface of the lip, and the central ring receives the distal rim of the acetabular shell component; and
wherein the acetabular shell component comprises a concave curved inner wall that extends inwardly from the distal rim to define a hemispherical cavity sized to receive an acetabular bearing.
