  2. Plane joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_joint

    A plane joint (arthrodial joint, gliding joint, plane articulation) is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. Plane joints permit sliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules.

  3. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    A multiaxial joint, such as the hip joint, allows for three types of movement: anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and rotational. A multiaxial joint (polyaxial joint or triaxial joint) is a synovial joint that allows for several directions of movement. [9] In the human body, the shoulder and hip joints are multiaxial joints. [10]

Humeroradial joint: head of the radius: capitulum of the humerus: Is a ball-and-socket joint. Superior radioulnar joint: head of the radius: radial notch of the ulna

  5. Condyloid joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condyloid_joint

    These joints allow biaxial movements [3] — i.e., forward and backward, or from side to side, but not rotation. Radiocarpal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint are examples of condyloid joints. An example of an Ellipsoid joint is the wrist; it functions similarly to the ball and socket joint except is unable to rotate 360 degrees; it prohibits ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_joint

    Saddle joints are said to be biaxial, [5] allowing movement in the sagittal and frontal planes. [2] Examples of saddle joints in the human body include the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, [6] [7] the sternoclavicular joint of the thorax, [8] the incudomalleolar joint of the middle ear, [9] and the calcaneocuboid joint of the heel.

  7. Sacroiliac joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacroiliac_joint

    The joint is strong, supporting the entire weight of the upper body. It is a synovial plane joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of the two bones. [1] The human body has two sacroiliac joints, one on the left and one on the right, that often match each other but are highly variable from person to person. [1]

  9. Facet joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_joint

    For example, the facet joint between T1 and T2 is innervated by C8 and T1 medial branch nerves. Facet joint between L1 and L2; the T12 and L1 medial branch nerves. However, the L5 and S1 facet joint is innervated by the L4 medial branch nerve and the L5 dorsal ramus. In this case, there is no L5 medial branch to innervate the facet joint.
