Two joints which are major contenders for "biggest joint" when you take a first glance at the human skeleton, are the hip joint and the knee joint. At first, the HIP looks really big compared to the knee, but when you actually look at the part of the hip that is really considered to be the joint and compare that to the part of the knee that is really considered the joint, you can see that the knee joint is bigger (the place where the bones meet/articulate). So, the knee joint is the biggest joint in the body.
