An acetabular component anteversion and abduction measurement system, comprising: an acetabular component; one or more radiopaque guide lines disposed on or adjacent to a posterior surface of the acetabular component; and one or more radiopaque guide lines disposed on or adjacent to an anterior surface of the acetabular component; wherein predetermined alignment of selected of the one or more anterior guide lines with selected of the one or more posterior guide lines under intra-operative fluoroscopy or radiography indicates proper surgical alignment of the acetabular component within the anatomy of a patient. Proper surgical alignment means that the acetabular component is not retroverted or overly anteverted or abducted within the anatomy of the patient.
