1. A combination drill guide and depth gauge surgical instrument for use during a surgical procedure to implant an acetabular cup component into a surgically-prepared acetabulum of a patient's hip, comprising:
an elongated body having (i) a drill guide secured to an end thereof, the drill guide having a guide bore extending therethrough, and (ii) an elongated channel extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the elongated body,
a depth probe positioned in the elongated channel, the depth probe having a distal tip extending out of an open end of the elongated channel, and
a thumb actuator comprising a knob operatively coupled to the depth probe and rotatable relative to the elongated body,
wherein rotational movement of the knob in a direction toward the open end of the elongated channel causes the depth probe's distal tip to be extended away from the open end of the elongated channel, and
wherein rotational movement of the knob in a direction away from the open end of the elongated channel causes the depth probe's distal tip to be retracted back toward the open end of the elongated channel.
