What is type of joint found at the base of the thumb?
The thumb is made up of two phalanges (one distal phalanx and one proximal phalanx), and one metacarpal. At the "visible base" of the thumb, or where the thumb seems to enter the hand, there is a condyloid synovial joint, which involves the articulation of the proximal phalanx on the first metacarpal. The TRUE base of the thumb is where the first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium (a carpal bone of the hand). This joint is a saddle-type synovial joint.

What is the medical name for knuckle?
I have previously read that the medical name for "knuckle" is the interphalangeal joint, but this just refers to the joints of any of the three bones of the fingers (phalanges), being the proximal, medial, and distal phalanges. Therefore, the knuckle is the "proximal condyle of the phalanges". This refers to where the metacarpals (the palm bones) meet the fingers (phalanges). I am not a medical professional, but due to in-depth investigation as per a past research project, I know virtually every "medical" name (and the many, many synonyms) for features of superficial androtomy (human anatomy), and I've not yet come across a specific one for knuckles.
