Condyle is a rounded prominence at the end of a bone, most often used for articulation with another bone.

Condyles can be found in numorous places in the body example:

Knuckles

TMJ ( Temporomandibular Joint/ aka Jaw)

Vertebral Column

In short, they can be found in both the axial and appendicular skeleton.
