About MeIf using a cemented acetabular cup, several holes may be drilled in the pelvic bone. The cement is injected into the acetabulum and also into the holes of the acetabular cup. The cup is cemented into the acetabulum. Any remaining osteophytes and excess cement are removed. If cementless implants are used, the cup is carefully punched into position and secured there with screws.Woodend Hospital (Oldmill Hospital)
