A saddle joint is a synovial joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse. Saddle joints provide stability to the bones while providing more flexibility than a hinge or gliding joint.

.

A saddle joint is a synovial joint having a saddle-shaped articular surface which is concave, saddle-shaped in one bone and convex on the complementary bone so as to allow movement in multiple directions. They give more stability to the bones and are more flexible than other joints like the hinge joint and the gliding joint. Similar to a condyloid joint, the bone riding the saddle (complementary bone) can move about an oval area providing more movement.
