A ball-and-socket joint is typically made up of a rounded, ball-like surface on one bone that fits into a cup-like socket on another bone. The ball is usually composed of hard, smooth cartilage called articular cartilage, while the socket is lined with the same type of cartilage to help reduce friction and allow smooth movement. Surrounding the joint are ligaments, tendons, and muscles that support and stabilize the joint during movement.
