Zusammenfassung:	A joint prosthesis (1) comprises a first component (12) and a second component (10) being connected via a ball-and-socket-joint, wherein the first component comprises two outward spherical sections (42), at least one of the spherical sections having a projection (44); the ball-and-socket-joint comprises two gliding blocks (16) each having an inward spherical section (52) and at least one of the gliding blocks comprising a hole (50), the gliding blocks being attached to the second component, the outward spherical sections are in gliding engagement with the inward spherical sections of the gliding blocks so that the first component is movably attached to the second component; and the projection is inserted into one of the holes of the gliding blocks, so as to limit the mobility of the ball-and-socket-joint.
