The invention relates to a finger or toe prosthesis having an intracorporal implant and an external modular frame constituting the core of the finger or toe prosthesis with a certain number of modules or components, each with its own function, e.g. a joint, which will be assembled to constitute one modular frame, wherein the external modular frame is displaceable fixed to the intracorporal implant. The invention relates to a fail safety mechanism for a finger or toe prosthesis, too, wherein the external modular frame is coupled to the intracorporal implant by a friction-type blocking, a form fit locking, a spring loaded hinge or a non-linear spring allowing hyper-extension or hyper-flexion, ductile deformation or breaking at a predetermined load. The invention relates to a cosmetic or functional cover of the external modular frame as well, which is attached to the frame and supports the function of the frame. |
