Abstract
An acetabular cup guide can include a distal end () shaped to allow removable connection to a surgical instrument (), a proximal end including one or more contact surfaces () shaped to conform to an acetabulum, and a central proximal-distal axis extending through the acetabular cup guide. At least one of the one or more contact surfaces can be configured such that it is deflectable towards the central proximal-distal axis in order to reduce an axial cross-section of the acetabular cup guide.
