I think it is a hinge joint.
The knee contains a hinge joint, which allows movement in one plane, similar to a door hinge. The elbow contains a hinge joint as well, enabling flexion and extension movements.
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.
It is not a separate joint it is your hip joint, the hip joint is a ball & socket joint!!!
The meniscus is found in the knee joint, between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). It acts as a cushioning pad, absorbing shock and helping to distribute weight evenly across the joint during movement.
The knee joint is a hinge synovial joint, allowing for flexion and extension movements. It is composed of the femur, tibia, and patella, with structures such as ligaments and menisci providing stability and support.

The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus joint (a pivotal hinge joint).
The knee joint is located in the leg at the knee. It is a type of hinge joint.
