摘要：
A prosthesis socket for receiving an amputation stump has at least one shell which has an arched, open cross-section, where the shell ends in the applied state overlap each other at least partially. At least one tensioning means is disposed on the shell to act in a circumferential direction for tensioning the shell ends relative to each other. The shell is being made of a dimensionally stable plastic having regions with varying elasticity. The proximal end of the socket is relatively more flexible. The inner surface of the socket includes a direction dependent surface to aid in holding the amputation stump. A connector for the distal prosthesis is preferentially positioned adjacent the patients greater trochanter and is configured for pivotable bearing of the prosthesis with fixing devices to secure the orientation of the prosthesis relative to the socket.
