an elbow is a u·ni·ax·i·al joint that permits movement around one axis only.
The knee and elbow both are uniaxial joints. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
The three planes are coronal, sagittal, and transverse (you probably knew this already) so a multiaxial joint can move in all three. So to answer the question, it would be three.
The elbow joint is a hinge joint.
Uniaxial movement refers to motion that occurs in only one direction or along a single axis. In the context of biology or anatomy, uniaxial movement can refer to the motion of a joint that allows movement in only one plane or direction, such as flexion and extension at the elbow joint. This is in contrast to biaxial or multiaxial movement, which involve motion in multiple planes or around multiple axes.
The elbow is a hinge joint. When you think about it, you can only bend your elbow back and forth. Think about your wrist, that's a gliding joint. It moves in a completely different way than your elbow.
humeral-ulnar joint (elbow), tibial-femoral joint (knee)
The elbow is an uniaxial joint. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
Number of planes in the uniaxial joints?
hinge and pivot
A strong, complex ligament called the inter- (between) -osseous (bones) ligament, plus some blood vessels and nerves. You can find these things in the center of the forearm, between the two bones. Strong ligaments also connect the radius and ulna down by the wrist and up by the elbow.
They have one plane of movement. ex: elbow

Flexion ( is a typical of hinge joint ) bending the knee or elbow
Elbow joint.
The three planes are coronal, sagittal, and transverse (you probably knew this already) so a multiaxial joint can move in all three. So to answer the question, it would be three.
Yes your elbow is a hinge joint.
