The proximal radioulnar joint is a pivot joint, as it allows rotation around a central axis. This joint is formed by the radius and ulna bones in the forearm, with the head of the radius pivoting against the ring of the ulna. The other joints listed (ball-and-socket, saddle, hinge, and condylar) are not involved in the articulation between the radius and ulna bones.
