Orthopedic joint and orthopedic device

An orthopedic joint comprising:

• a first component;
• a second component that is arranged on the first component such that it can be swiveled about a swivel axis;
• at least one damper configured to adjustably dampen a swiveling of the first component relative to the second component during the swiveling of the first component relative to the second component, and wherein the at least one damper comprises a throttle valve;
• and
• an actuator for swiveling the first component relative to the second component in at least one direction, wherein the actuator comprises a first coupling element which interacts with a second coupling element arranged on either the first component or the second component, wherein the actuator further comprises a motor module and a transmission module, the motor module and the transmission module being detachable from each other;
• wherein the actuator is arranged on the first component or the second component on a medial or lateral side such that it can be detached, wherein, when the actuator is arranged on the medial side of the first component or the second component, the transmission module is connected to the medial side of the first component or the second component and the motor module is connected to a medial side of the transmission module, and wherein, when the actuator is arranged on the lateral side of the first component or the second component, the transmission module is connected to the lateral side of the first component or the second component and the motor module is connected to a lateral side of the transmission module, wherein the first coupling element comprises a driver which can be brought into a first state, a second state, or a third state, wherein, in the first state, the first coupling element interacts with the second coupling element in such a way that the actuator swivels the first component relative to the second component in a first direction and driving the actuator in a second direction does not swivel the first component or the second component relative to each other, wherein, in the second state, the first coupling element does not interact with the second coupling element, and wherein, in the third state, the first coupling element interacts with the second coupling element in such a way that the actuator swivels the first component relative to the second component in the second direction and driving the actuator in the first direction does not swivel the first component or the second component relative to each other.
