The wrist joint is a condyloid synovial joint, also known as the radiocarpal joint.
This means it's a type of joint that allows for movement in two planes, enabling flexion, extension, abduction (radial deviation), and adduction (ulnar deviation). It acts as the crucial connection point between the forearm (radius and ulna bones) and the hand (carpal bones). The radiocarpal joint facilitates the intricate movements necessary for hand function.
