The ball and socket joint (or spheroid joint) is a type of synovial joint in which the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone. The distal bone is capable of motion around an indefinite number of axes, which have one common center.

The shoulder and hip joints are the only ball-and-socket joints in the human body due to the need for great motion at the end of the body's limbs and the vast amount of musculature needed to move and support such flexible joints.
