Hindge joint
Abnormal swelling of a metatarsophalangeal joint is typically caused by inflammation of the joint, known as arthritis. This can be due to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or gout. It is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The medical term for abnormal swelling of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is "hallux abducto valgus" or more commonly known as "bunion".
It's a 'hinge' joint - it can only move in two directions (forward and back).
The hinge joint is a type of synovial joint that allows movement in one plane only, like a hinge on a door. Examples of hinge joints include the elbow and the knee joints. These joints allow for flexion and extension movements.
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.

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 elbow is a hinge joint in your body, as is your knee.
