"Joint" or "Articulation" refers to the connection made between bones in a human or animal body which link the skeletal system to form a functional whole. Joints may be biomechanically classified as a simple joint, a compound joint, or a complex joint. Joints may be classified anatomically into groups such as joints of hand, elbow joints, wrist joints, axillary joints, sternoclavicular joints, vertebral articulations, temporomandibular joints, sacroiliac joints, hip joints, knee joints, ankle joints, articulations of foot, and the like.
