Zusammenfassung:	A method of augmenting a bone defect in proximity to an acetabulum, comprising: implanting an acetabular cup implant into a bone; after implanting the acetabular cup implant, driving a drill bit into the bone so as to form a first void having a geometry corresponding to that of the drill bit; and inserting a void filler into the void formed by the drill bit such that a portion of the void filler is in a working relationship with the acetabular cup implant and another portion of the void filler is disposed within the void.
