I have previously read that the medical name for "knuckle" is the interphalangeal joint, but this just refers to the joints of any of the three bones of the fingers (phalanges), being the proximal, medial, and

distal phalanges.

Therefore, the knuckle is the "proximal condyle of the phalanges". This refers to where the metacarpals

(the palm bones) meet the fingers (phalanges).

I am not a medical professional, but due to in-depth investigation as per a past research project, I know virtually every "medical" name (and the many, many synonyms) for features of superficial androtomy (human anatomy), and I've not yet come across a specific one for knuckles.
