What are the types of joints found in thumb?
The types of joints found in thumb are: 1. Caropometacarpal joint where the metacarpal bone of the thumb attaches to the trapezium bone of the wrist. This joint is a saddle joint that allows two planes of motion with a small amount or rotation. 2. Metacarpophalangeal joint is the joint between the metacarpal bone and the phalanges of the thumb. This joint is an ellipsoid joint that allows movement in two planes and is biaxial. 3. Interphalangeal joint is the joint between the two phalanges of the thumb. This joint is a hinge joint that allows movement in one plane and is also referred to as uniaxial.
What joints are biaxial hinge joints?
Biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes or axes. A common example of a biaxial joint is the wrist, which allow for movement side to side, and also allows for movement up and down. It can be difficult to determine whether a joint is biaxial or multiaxial, because when the biaxial joint moves in both directions at the same time, it appears to have the multiaxial quality of being able to move in any plane or axes.
What allows thee wrist to rotate?

What is the function of the ball and socket joint in the wrist?

How many types of range of motion are there for wrist joint?
Technically the wrist joint is the one between the ulna and radius and the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones, however this is disputed by many who tend to believe the wrist is the combination of the carpal bones. By the first definition the only movement that the wrist joint does is flexion and extension, the rest are donr by the intercarpal joints. The second definition is the intercarpal joints and so it allows for the inversion and eversion movements associated with the wrist and so also allows for circumduction too. Finall suppination is often wrongly associated with the wrist joint. This is not true suppination is the result rearangement of of the relavitve postions of the ulna and radius.
