A modular hip implant is disclosed that includes a base member that is to
be attached to a pelvic bone, and a cup for accommodating a hip joint
prosthesis. The base member is provided with fasteners for mounting the
base member on the pelvic bone as well as a concave accommodation portion
for the cup. The cup has a convex outer shape which is complementary to
the accommodation portion such that the radii of curvature determining
the concave accommodation portion and the convex outer form essentially
correspond to each other and the cup can be attached within the base
member. The base member and/or the cup include adjustment means for
adjusting the position of the cup relative to the base member. The
invention allows the inclination and anteversion to be adjusted by
arranging the cup in the base.
