A joint base for a hip joint endoprosthesis includes an elongate base element and a base insert. The base element has a longitudinal axis and an outline which, in a front view, is of asymmetrical design at least relative to the longitudinal axis. The base insert has at a front side a semi-spherical hollow for accommodating a joint ball.
