    Saddle joints include concave and convex portions that fit together and allow angular movement; ball-and-socket joints include a rounded, ball-like end of one bone fitting into a cup-like socket of another bone which allows the greatest range of motion. Rheumatologists diagnose and treat joint disorders, which include rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. Immune cells enter joints and the synovium, causing cartilage breakdown, swelling, and inflammation of the joint lining, which breaks down cartilage, resulting in bones rubbing against each other, causing pain.

    Planar joints have bones with articulating surfaces that are flat or slightly curved, allowing for limited movement; pivot joints consist of the rounded end of one bone fitting into a ring formed by the other bone to allow rotational movement.

    Hinge joints act like the hinge of a door; the slightly-rounded end of one bone fits into the slightly-hollow end of the other bone; one bone remains stationary.

    Condyloid joints consist of an oval-shaped end of one bone fitting into a similarly oval-shaped hollow of another bone to allow angular movement along two axes.
