Technologies for aligning an acetabular prosthetic component in a patient's surgically prepared acetabulum include a reference sensor module securable to the patient's bony anatomy, an inserter sensor module securable to an acetabular prosthetic component inserter, and a display module. Each sensor module generates sensor data indicative of the orientation of the sensor module and/or structures to which the sensor module is coupled. The display module receives the sensor data from the sensor modules, determines the orientation of the acetabular prosthetic component relative to the patient's bony anatomy, and displays indicia of the determined orientation on a display.

An assembly tool for use in assembling orthopaedic prosthetic components is disclosed. The assembly tool includes a frame, a base plate that includes a mounting bracket configured to engage a first end of an orthopaedic prosthetic component and a mechanical actuator configured to apply a compressive load to the orthopaedic prosthetic component.
