Condyloid joint

Template:Infobox Anatomy

In a condyloid joint (condyloid articulation, ellipsoidal joint) an ovoid articular surface, or condyle, is received into an elliptical cavity in such a manner as to permit of flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction, but no axial rotation.

The wrist-joint is an example of this form of articulation.
