What is hinge joint in our skeleton?
A hinge joint is a type of synovial joint that allows motion only in one plane.
These joints are formed when two or more bones meet and move along an axis to bend.
Hinge joints are assisted by other tissues, including cartilage and ligaments, to connect and bend.
The hinge joint is made up of two or more bones with articular surfaces that are covered by hyaline cartilage and lubricated by synovial fluid.
Hinge joints are present in ankles, elbows, fingers, knees, and toes.
