The invention relates to a cap-shaped implant for implanting on a prepared
stump of a femoral head. The implant is in the form of a ball section
(11), having a flat base surface (13) and a polar axis (15) which is
arranged in a perpendicular in relation to the base surface (13).
According to the invention, a cavity (17) is arranged in ball section
(11) which protrudes from the base surface (13), said cavity (17) is
rotationally symmetrical and comprises a hollow spatial axis (19) which
is arranged below an angle (a) which is different form zero in relation
to the polar axis (15).
