The invention relates to a prosthetic joint, especially a knee or hip joint, with an upper joint part (1), a lower joint part (2), a joint axle (3) connecting these two joint parts (1, 2) pivotably with one another and connected rotatably with one joint part (1), and a damping of the joint swing. To achieve in particular a more compact design of the joint, it is proposed according to the invention that the damping be integrated into one (2) of the two joint parts (1, 2) and act directly on joint axle (3) nonrotatably connected with the other joint part (1).
La présente invention concerne une prothèse articulaire, en particulier une prothèse de genou ou de hanche, avec une partie d'articulation supérieure (1), une partie d'articulation inférieure (2), un axe d'articulation (3) reliant ces deux parties d'articulation (1, 2) en pivot l'une avec l'autre, et relié en rotation avec une partie d'articulation (1), et un amortissement du balancement d'articulation. Pour arriver, en particulier, à une conception plus compacte de la prothèse, il est proposé conformément à l'invention que l'amortissement soit intégré dans l'une (2) des deux parties d'articulation (1, 2) et agisse directement sur l'axe d'articulation (3) relié de manière non rotative à l'autre partie d'articulation (1).
