Joints that allow movement in a single plane are called trochlear joints, also known as hinge joints. Examples of such joints are the knee and the humero-ulnar joint of the elbow. Technically the knee does rotate slightly in the last few degrees of extension which is called the "screw home mechanism", but is still considered a hinge joint.

How do joints allow movement?

Why do planets orbit in One Direction?
The suns gravitational pull forces them to move in one direction
What are the differences in the 5 movable joints?
Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions. They are the hip and shoulder joints. Hinge joints allow movement in one direction only. They are elbow, knee, and finger joints. A pivot joint allows partial rotation of the head. It is located between the first two vertebrae in the neck. Gliding joints, where the bones move a short distance sliding against each other, are in the wrist and ankle.
Why do hinge joints move in one direction?
Because they are joints that hinge. A hinge can only go one direction. Like for example, a door hinges, and it can only go one direction unless you break the door. Then the door could go anywhere, but hinges only move one direction.
