A cotyloid implant for a hip prosthesis, includes a first type of insert
(2) with a spherical internal cavity (2a), for the mounting of a
hemispherical core (4) with a capacity for mobility which has an internal
cavity (4a) for co-operation with articulation with a femoral head, a
second type of insert with an internal cavity for cooperation with a
femoral head with articulation, characterised in that the centre of
rotation of the femoral head is different from the axis of rotation of
the first type of insert (2) and/or of the second type of insert.
