A hinge joint, also known by the scientific name of ginglymus, is a joint in the bones of an animal or person that allows bone movement in only one direction.
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.
