The connection unit has a connection screw having a head in the shape of a first ball segment and a shank. The shank has an outer thread. The connection unit also has a base element having: a second outer thread, and a first portion having a first inner diameter; a through-opening is provided at a second axial end and has a second inner diameter which is smaller than the first inner diameter, and an outer side of the base element is in the shape of a second ball segment. The first portion and the through-opening are distanced axially and are connected by a transition portion, which at least partly provides a bearing surface for the head of the connection screw, and the shank extends through the through-opening.
