4.synovial joints
Synovial joints are most common type of joint in the body. Key feature of a l synovial joint is the presence of joint cavity which is filled with synovial fluid.
Types:-

eg:- Hip joint
shoulder joint
b. Hinge joint
the convex end of one bone articulates with the concave end of the adjoining bone
eg:- elbow joint
c. pivot joint
rounded portion of a bone is enclosed within a ring formed partially by the articulation with another bone and partially by a ligament
eg:- atlanto axial joint ( c1-c2)
d. saddle joint
both of the articulating surfaces for the bones have a saddle shape, which is concave in one direction and convex in the other
eg:- first carpo metacarpal joint
e. plane joint
the articulating surfaces of the bones are flat or slightly curved and of approximately the same size, which allows the bones to slide against each other
eg:- joint between carpals
f. condyloid joint
the shallow depression at the end of one bone articulates with a rounded structure from an adjacent bone or bone
eg:- metacarpo phalangeal joint
5. a.Developmental disorder
These are disorders which are either inherited or acquired during fetal life
eg:- club foot
- spina bifida
b. traumatic disorders

Eg:- traumatic fracture
c. age related disorders
