Question

Other name for condylar joint is ___________

• A. Saddle joint
• B. Plain joint
• C. Ball and Socket Joint
• D. Hinge Joint

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Hinge Joint

• Condyle stands for a rounded articular surface on the extremity of bone where it forms a joint with another bone.

• This allows limited movements like extension and flexion.

• Since the movements are limited and possible in only one direction, i.e. uniaxial, it is also called a hinge joint.
