The elbow can rotate on one plane, allowing flexion and extension movements. The knee can also rotate on one plane, enabling flexion and extension, as well as a slight degree of internal and external rotation.

Why are you not able to rotate your leg at the knee or your hands at the elbow?

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.
