A hinge joint is a joint that can only move back and forth like a regular door. It allows the joint to bend and straighten, but does not rotate. An example is the elbow joint.

A hinge joint is one of several types of bone joints found in the human body; it is used to connect the humerus and the ulna, which are found in the arm.
