Biaxial joints include the condylar joint, as found in the metacarpophalangeal joint, and the saddle joint, as found in the carpometacarpal joints of the thumbs. Congratulations on expanding your knowledge of joint classification by recognizing both movements permitted and the shapes of the articulating bones!
Which joints are biaxial?
Biaxial. In biaxial joints, movement takes place mainly about two axes at right angles to each other, usually the anteroposterior (abduction/adduction) and mediolateral (flexion/extension) axes. There are three types of biaxial joint: condyloid, ellipsoid and saddle.
