An orientation guide (400, 450, 452, 470, 472, 480, 482, 484, 486, 488, 490, 492, 494) and method for visually assessing the orientation of an acetabular cup implanted in a patient are described. The orientation guide comprises a body (402) adapted to be mounted on a femoral neck, a support (404) extending from the body and an alignment member (406, 483, 491) mounted on the support. The alignment member is tilted relative to the body and configured to extend along an alignment axis parallel to a target anteversion angle of the acetabular cup when the orientation guide in use is attached to the femoral neck and the femoral neck includes a femoral head which is received in the acetabular cup to form a hip joint.
