Condyloid Joint

A condyloid joint is a type of synovial joint found in the body. It consists of two bones that fit together like a puzzle and are held in place by ligaments. It allows only for forward-backward and side-to-side movement and does not allow rotation. Examples of condyloid joints include the wrist and knuckles.

Hand Bones

The knuckles are an example of a condyloid joint. The rounded end of one bone fits into the hollow of another bone, creating a joint that is both flexible and stable. This joint enables the movement of the fingers and is important for gripping and holding objects.

Radius

The radius is one of the two long bones in the forearm, located on the thumb side. It runs parallel to the ulna bone and connects the elbow joint to the wrist joint. The radius bone is important for the rotation of the forearm and movements of the hand and wrist.

Ulna

The ulna is located in the forearm and runs parallel to the radius bone. It helps to provide stability and support to the wrist joint. It also plays a role in the movement of the elbow joint.
