The knee is sometimes considered a modified hinge joint or a pivotal hinge joint.The Ankle is not a good example, its a saddle joint.The jaw (the temperomandibular joint) is sometimes called a hinge joint, but it has a gliding component as well and has more motion than a typical hinge joint.Hinge joints are synovial joints that only move on one plane (ex you can bring your arm up at your elbow but you can bend it sideways without rotating your shoulder.Generally, a hinge joint is found between two bones that move in two opposite directions (flexion and extension), as opposed to in many directions. For comparison, the hip joint and shoulder are not hinge joints, since they move the adjoining limb in several directions.
