APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -[3][4] The hinge joints of the body include the elbow, knee, interphalangeal (IP) joints of the hand and foot and the tibiotalar joint of the ankle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, similar to the ankle and knee joints. Two or more bones form hinge joints that move along an axis, rather than rotate like the hip joint. The distal humerus and proximal ulna are the primary elbow joint bones. The hinge joint allows the elbow to bend and straighten.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ball-and-socket joints. Ball-and-socket joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, allow backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movements. Hinge joints. Pivot joints. Ellipsoidal joints.
