Yes but what may be surprising is that it is only moveable in One Plane, Flexion and Extension. It does appear able to be Abducted and Adducted as well as Rotated. The apparant rotation actually occurs in the Forearm and comes from Pronation and Suppination of the Radius and Ulna. The apparand abduction and adduction comes primarily from Intercarpal joints but very slightly from the wrist.
