The knee-joint was formerly described as a ginglymus or hinge-joint, but is really of a much more complicated character. |
At the junction on each side of trochantin and post-clypeus is a concave process for articulation with the ginglymus of the mandible. |
The hinge, or ginglymus, joint is a modified sellar joint with each mating surface ovoid on its right and left sides. |
Functionally, the temporomandibular joint is a ginglymus, where motion occurs in a rough hinge axis along a repeatable plane supported by strong lateral ligaments. |
This also, is a ginglymus joint, having but slight lateral motion, and that only when it is in a state of flexion. |
The Bones of the Fingers are articulated by Ginglymus, and are fifteen in each Hand. |
