A distal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the medial and distal phalanges. In contrast, a proximal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the proximal and medial phalanges.
What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
The joint is technically called "metacarpophalangeal", and it is a condyloid joint.
What type of joint is the thumb joint?
saddle joint- This joint has two bones that fit together in a special way. It can move in all directions, except rotational. It's what makes us different from monkeys as they can't move their thumbs!
Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
Metacarpophalangeal joint. A condyloid type of joint.
What joint do the proximal and distal phalanges meet at?
The proximal and distal phalanges only meet in the first digits (the thumbs and the big tues). This joint is the first interphalangeal joint.

The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
What is the interphalangeal joints?
Joint between the phalanges (interphalangeal joint) is hinge joint.
What synovial joint is an interphalangeal joint?

What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
