In the body, all joints are made of a joint capsule that has a membrane to secrete synovial fluid and protect the moving parts. Then there are ligaments that hold the bones close to each other. Then there is a special cartilage called hyaline between them so the bones don't touch each other and have a slippery surface between them to minimize and friction.
A hinge joint is not immovable. A hinge joint has one plane of motion. A good illustration of a hinge joint is the knee joint.

hinge joints that allow movement in one plane, such as bending and straightening.
A knee joint is a hinge joint, allowing movement in one plane (flexion and extension). It is made up of the femur, tibia, and patella bones, along with ligaments and cartilage for stability and support.

Anatomically speaking, it is a synovial joint. Physiologically speaking, it is a hinge joint.
Elbow joint consists of three joints:Joint between trochlea of Humerus and Ulna is hinge joint (ginglymus joint).Joint between capitulum of humerus and head of radius is also a hinge joint.Joint between Upper ends of radius and ulna is pivot joint.
If your elbow were a hinge joint, it would primarily allow for bending and straightening movements in a single plane like a door hinge. However, the elbow joint is actually a more complex joint that allows for flexion, extension, as well as some rotation, making it a modified hinge joint known as a trochlear joint.
Your knee is made up of three bones(joints). These three are a Thighbone(femur), a Shinbone(tibia), and a Kneecap(patella).
Your elbow is a hinge joint in your body, as is your knee.
It's a 'hinge' joint - it can only move in two directions (forward and back).
