There may be two answers to the question you have asked:

Sometimes a hinge joint is referred to as a "hinge bone". These are referencing joints in the body that work like hinges, for example, the elbow, knuckle, knee, and toe. Hinge joints are those which can only move in one axis.

Or there is a implantable technological device called a "hinged bone plate" that is used in spinal surgery to stabilize two vertebrae to each other as in a "spinal fusion" but which allows for more movement with the ability of flexion of the hinged pieces attached one end to one vertebrae and the other end to the adjacent vertebrae with a hinge in between. See related links for examples and additional details.

Is Joints are skeletal structures that serve as interfaces or connections between bones?

Yes, joints are skeletal structures that act as interfaces or connections between bones. They allow for varying degrees of movement and flexibility, depending on their type, such as hinge, ball-and-socket, or pivot joints. Joints play a crucial role in the overall function and mobility of the skeletal system.
