Provided is a joint replacement with a joint socket () having a concave joint surface (), and with a joint insert () having a concave joint surface () and a convex joint surface () which are each delimited by a peripheral edge (). The convex joint surface () of the joint insert () is designed, in the assembled state, to form a first partial joint with the concave joint surface () of the joint socket (). Moreover, the concave joint surface () of the joint insert () is designed, in the assembled state, to form a second partial joint with the convex joint surface () of a joint head (). The joint socket () and the joint insert () each have a securing means () for preventing dislocation of the joint replacement.
