ABSTRACT:
Each member of an artificial joint comprises a toothed sector pivoting about a pin. These toothed sectors are in engagement with one another and are mounted between two parallel side plates separated by two spacers. Openings passing through these side plates are angularly distributed about each axis of pivoting and are adapted to selectively receive stops formed by pins which delimit the sectors of freedom of the members about the axes of pivoting. Each of these stops is associated with an apertured tongue which extends perpendicular to the axis of the pin and permits bolting the stop to the center of pivoting of its member.
