A hinge joint allows bones to only move back and forth a ball and socket joint joint allows your arm to move in all directions.
The ball and socket joint can rotate around. The hinge joint can only move up and down. Your ankle is a b&s joint, Your leg is a hinge joint.
Ball-socket-joints allow your bones to have circular movement. Your shoulder and your hip have a ball-socket-joints,but the hinge joint lets your bones move backward and forward,the way a door moves. Your elbows,knees and fingers have hinge joints

The hinge joint ( the elbow and the knee ) only moves two ways as you either bend your elbow ( leg ) or straighten your elbow ( leg ). The Ball and socket joint ( the shoulder and the hip ) rotate and move in several directions allowing us to move in different directions instead of being a stick man,

Fixed joints allow little to know movement. An example is the suture joints between the bones of the skull.Hinge joints allow movement in one plane. An example is the knee joint.

Ball-and-socket joints allow free motion in any plane in any combination. An example is the hip joint.

The ball and socket joint allows more movement than a hinge joint because a hinge joint can only moye back a forth but a ball and socket can move all around

The advantage of a hinge joint is that it is very difficult to dislocate. However, it can only move in one direction. You sacrifice range of motion for stability.
