Abstract
The present invention relates to an adaptor for mounting a prosthesis to a prosthetic pin that protrudes from a user's body. The adaptor comprises a male part coupled to a prosthetic pin, a female part coupled to the prosthesis and to the male part, and a locking ring for locking a rotation of the male part relative to the female part. According to the invention, the female part further comprises an at least partially resilient bush arranged in the female part that is configured to expand in a radial direction when the bush is compressed in an axial direction to lock a rotation of the male part relative to the female part.
