Is the thumb joint a hinge joint?

Yes, saddle joints are only found at the base of each thumb between the metacarpal head and the base of the second phalange bone. These joints are similar to elipsoid joints in that they allow for a back-and-forth and side-to-side movement; however, they also allow the thumb to be swiveled around so as to allow the pad of the thumb to touch the pads of all the other fingers. The corresponding joint in the big toe is an elipsoid joint, only. If it were a saddle joint, you would be able to oppose your big toe to the other toes -- just like the thumb in the hand!
