An implant system includes an acetabular implant and a bone screw having an articulated screw head which allows an unchanged contact position of the screw head on the acetabular implant when the bone screw is aligned relative to the acetabular implant. For this purpose, a slotted hole is made in the acetabular implant in which slotted hole the bone screw can be pivoted in longitudinal direction of the slotted hole.

The invention relates to a joint socket for a joint endoprosthesis, in particular in the form of a hip joint socket for a hip joint endoprosthesis. The joint socket has the form or substantially the form of a section of a hollow-spherical shell. The joint socket comprises a socket wall, in which socket wall at least one through-opening is formed. The through-opening is closed with a closure element. The closure element is formed as one piece with the socket wall. At least one predetermined breaking point is formed between the closure element and the socket wall. The at least one predetermined breaking point is irreversibly destroyable for removing the closure element from the socket wall. The joint socket comprises at least one connecting device for force- and/or form-fittingly connecting the closure element removed from the socket wall to the socket wall in a connecting position.
