The joints in your elbow, primarily the hinge joint between the humerus and the ulna, allow for flexion and extension of the forearm. This movement enables actions such as bending the arm to lift objects or straightening it to push away. Additionally, the radius allows for some rotation of the forearm, facilitating movements like turning a doorknob or using tools. Overall, the elbow joints provide the necessary range of motion for various everyday activities.

What are joints that move in one direction?
Joints that allow movement in a single plane are called trochlear joints, also known as hinge joints. Examples of such joints are the knee and the humero-ulnar joint of the elbow. Technically the knee does rotate slightly in the last few degrees of extension which is called the "screw home mechanism", but is still considered a hinge joint.hinge

Joints at the knee and elbow are hinge joints, designed to move in one primary direction (flexion and extension). The structure and shape of these joints limit rotational movement to protect them from injury. Rotation at these joints is mainly performed by the muscles and bones of the forearm and leg rather than at the knee or elbow joints themselves.
