The fibrous joint capsule is strengthened by several ligaments which are all part of the fibrous joint capsule. Anteriorly, there is the palmar radiocarpal ligament. Posteriorly, there is the dorsal radiocarpal ligament.

The oval-shaped condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of the other bone. These joints allow biaxial movements—i.e., forward and backward, or from side to side, but not rotation. Radiocarpal joint and Metacarpo-phalangeal joint are examples of condyloid joints.

The wrist joint also referred to as the radiocarpal joint is a condyloid synovial joint of the distal upper limb that connects and serves as a transition point between the forearm and hand. A condyloid joint is a modified ball and socket joint that allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements.

Planar, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball-and-socket are all types of synovial joints.

Pivot joint is a synovial joint in which the ends of two bones connect. In this joint, a cylinder-shaped bone rotates inside another ligament that forms a ring around the joint….Is the wrist a pivot joint?

Pivot joints, also known as rotary joints, are a type of synovial joint that permit axial rotation. The moving bone rotates within a ring formed by the concave surface of a second bone and an adjoining ligament.

Pivot joint is a synovial joint, which permits uniaxial movement of bone about one axis of rotation. In pivot joint central bony pivot is surrounded by collar of bone and ligament. The movements possible are supination, pronation and rotation.

In the skull the joints between the bones are called sutures. Such immovable joints are also referred to as synarthroses….

Explanation: The continuous joints are also called often as master joints. Almost all joints are discontinuous in the strict sense because these disappear with depth in the crust of the earth.
