The invention relates to prostheses for amputated patients. The shaft of the prosthesis has an outer shell and a concentric inner shell. Both shells are provided with longitudinal slits which are staggered in relation to each other and extend essentially in an axial direction. The diameter of the shaft of the prosthesis can be adjusted by tightening elements. An adaptor is fixed in the shaft of the prosthesis in such a way that the height of the adapter can be adjusted. A conical bearing surface for the stump of the limb is provided on the upper side of the adapter, a holding element for fixing an artificial limb is provided on the lower side of the same, and a coupling is provided inside the adapter for detachably fixing the coupling pin of a commercially available silicone liner.
