Abstract
A medical device system for implantation in a hip joint for providing at least one artificial hip joint surface for a patient is disclosed. The medical device system comprises an artificial acetabulum surface being at least partly bowl-shaped. The artificial surface comprises a largest cross-sectional distance being variable such that the medical device system can be inserted through a hole in the pelvic bone, from the abdominal side of the pelvic bone, the hole having a diameter smaller than said largest cross-sectional distance. Finally, the artificial acetabulum surface comprises at least two parts which are adapted to be interconnected to form an interconnected medical device when in use.
