The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral headwith the acetabulum.
A hinge joint best resembles a hinge. The best example is the one of the elbow joint.
Articulation
Upper leg is the knee joint which is a synovial joint with an articulation between the tibia and the femur. The fibula doesn't play much of a role in terms of stability.
A distal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the medial and distal phalanges. In contrast, a proximal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the proximal and medial phalanges.

knee
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
An arthron is any form of articulation or joint.
