Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Acetabular implant and method for its manufacture, wherein the implant (3) has a bone side (4) with a contact surface (5) to be fixed against the bone of the hip socket (2). A plastically deformable zone (12) with an open porous structure connects to the contact surface (5), said zone (12) being formed by a three-dimensional structure composed of strut elements (15) with opposite ends, wherein these strut elements (15) are connected at their ends in nodes (14). The zone (12) is made of a material having an elongation at break of at least 15%.
