pivotal hinge joint or synovial diarthrodial biaxial joint
The tibiofemoral joint is a type of synovial joint located between the tibia and femur bones in the knee. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension movements.

The knee joint (tibiofemoral joint) is inferior to anything that is superior to it, and that would be the whole body above the knees.
The tibiofemoral joint is also known as the knee. It is a joint that is made up of three articulating bones; the femur, tibia, and patella. It is classified as a modified hinge joint in that it functions as a hinge and a gliding joint. It is the second most complex joint in the body. The most complex is the TMJ, or temporomandibular joint which is the jaw.
The two joints that make up the knee joint are the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint.
If your referring to the knee joint it is the tibiofemoral joint.
The Costochondral Joint is an immovable Cartilaginous - Synchodrosis (structural classification) joint that articulates the ribs with the coastal cartilage.It's functional classification is; Synarthrosis - a type of joint permitting no movement at all.
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
Proximally (towards the hip) the femur articulates (attaches to) the acetabulum which is made up of all three hip bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Distally (towards the foot) the femur articulates with the the tibia and fibula.
Both the femur and tibia are long bones that form a joint. The menisci or articular discs are structures that separate a joint cavity in to two compartments. They are found in the knee, jaw and sternoclavicular joints. It only partly divides a joint cavity and it can be torn in an action that puts pressure on the joint while the joint is turning.
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
