2023年10月30日 · The hinge joint is one of six types of synovial joints along with the plane, ellipsoid, ball and socket, pivot and saddle joints. The hinge joint is a uni-axial synovial joint that functions much like a hinge on a door. It allows bones to move in one plane with a limited movement along other planes. It typically connects two bones and includes ...

2023年12月22日 · Hinge joints allow bones to move in one direction back and forth, much like the hinge on a door. This article looks at their anatomy and function and includes an interactive diagram.

2024年12月9日 · Hinge joints are a type of synovial joint that moves throughout one plane of motion into flexion and extension. Hinge joints are found in the knees, elbows, ankles, fingers, and toes, and control movement essential for all daily functions.

A hinge joint (ginglymus or ginglymoid) is a bone joint where the articular surfaces are molded to each other in such a manner as to permit motion only in one plane. [1] According to one classification system they are said to be uniaxial (having one degree of freedom ).

Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body (Figure 9.4.1). A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint that is not seen at fibrous or cartilaginous joints is the presence of a joint cavity. This fluid-filled space is the site at which the articulating surfaces of the bones contact each other.

2024年1月9日 · A hinge joint, sometimes referred to as a ginglymus, is a joint that permits one direction bone movement. Ankles, elbows, knees, fingers, & toes are examples of synovial joints that have hinge joints.

6 天之前 · A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. Hinge joints are formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend.

Hinge joints allow straightening, bending and flexing of joints. For example, flexing of a finger or a toe. The bones in hinge joints are covered with a protective cartilage and a thick fluid known as synovial fluid. This fluid helps in lubricating the bones, making them move without much friction.

2024年10月4日 · A hinge joint is a type of synovial joint that operates much like the hinge of a door, allowing movement primarily in one direction. These joints are designed to allow flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) with minimal rotation.

Ginglymus or Hinge-joint. —In this form the articular surfaces are moulded to each other in such a manner as to permit motion only in one plane, forward and backward, the extent of motion at the same time being considerable.
