The complementary abutment (25) is provided on an angle setting element (18), which is pivotally mounted in relation to the splint (1) and may be set in different positions on such splint. By moving the angle setting element (18) in relation to the splint (1) the position of the complementary abutment (25) and accordingly the maximum pivot range of the splint (1) may be reset steplessly in a predetermined angular range.
