Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most of the joints between the short bones in the ankle and wrist are plane joints, which allow for gliding movement between the bones. Hinge joints allow for movement in one plane only (like the elbow), pivot joints allow for rotation around a single axis (like the neck), and condylar joints allow for movement in two planes (like the knuckles).
