The femur component for a hip endoprosthesis has a distal end (1) destined for introduction into the femur medullary space, a proximal shoulder section (2) with a neck (3), a shaft section (4) between the shoulder section (2) and end (1) with longitudinal axis (5) and length (L), and a peripheral groove (6) in the proximal third of the shaft section (4) which merges into the shoulder section (2). The groove (6) is linked to the proximal zone (8) of the shoulder section (2) via two channels (7) on the surface of the shoulder section (2). The channels (7) facilitate local application of cement in the proximal region of the femur. They also allow excess bone cement, present in the femur medullary space when the femur component is implanted, to escape.
