A prosthetic joint for the replacement of the metacarpophalangeal and the interphalangeal joints of the hand, and for the knee. The joint includes a ball secured to the distal bone by an intramedullary stem and cylindrical cavity element to receive the ball secured to the proximal bone, also by an intramedullary stem. The cylindrical cavity element is provided with an entrance means so that the joint may be assembled and the stems secured to the two bones.
