A screwable artificial hip joint glenoid cavity (16) for implantation in a human being has a special thread (22-26). Glenoid cavities of this type usually have a flat thread with parallel teeth flanks or a triangular thread with a neutral teeth position, the axial pitch being usually constant. However, such embodiments are unfavourable because they do not take sufficiently into account the forces which arise during implantation and because of normal loads during use, or they cause an unnecessarily extensive bone bed destruction during explantation. The invention purposefully optimises the screwable glenoid cavity thread (22-26), ensuring an effortless screwing, a stable seat in the long term and an unproblematic explantation thanks to a special thread profile, an angular position of the thread teeth (22-26) and a non-linear thread pitch.
