A hinge joint (like on a door) can only move in one plane... that is, it can bend one way or the other. Examples include the knee, the joints of the fingers and toes.
A saddle joint allows movement in two planes (imagine sitting on a saddle on a horse - you can rock back and forward AND slide off either side). An example is at the base of the thumb - you can move it in 4 directions
