A finger joint prosthesis is provided including a joint body having first
and second joint elements, which are connected together pivotably about a
rotary axis and from each of which extends an anchoring bar for fixing to
a proximal and/or distal phalanx. The anchoring bars have eyes with
openings for receiving fixing screws. To increase stability, it is
proposed that the first joint element have an external hollow body with
an insertion opening that the second joint element have an internal
hollow body, and that the internal hollow body in the position of
installation can be inserted by way of the insertion opening relatively
movably into the external hollow body. A spindle can be inserted in the
position of installation into the internal hollow body for rotationally
movable connection to the external hollow body.
