What is another word for Ginglymoid Joint?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɪŋɡlɪmˌɔ͡ɪd d͡ʒˈɔ͡ɪnt] (IPA) 
The Ginglymoid joint, also known as hinge joint, is a type of joint that allows movement in only one plane. Synonyms for this type of joint include articulatio ginglymus, uniaxial joint, and trochoid joint. An articulatio ginglymus is formed when a convex surface of a bone glides along a concave surface of another bone. This type of joint is commonly found in the fingers, toes, and elbows, and allows for flexion and extension movements. A uniaxial joint, on the other hand, only allows for movement along a single axis. A trochoid joint, also known as a pivot joint, allows for rotation around a central axis. All three of these terms can be used interchangeably with Ginglymoid for accurate descriptions of hinge joints.
