===Biomechanical classification===
Joints can also be classified based on their anatomy or on their biomechanical properties. According to the anatomic classification, joints are subdivided into ''simple'' and ''compound'', depending on the number of bones involved, and into ''complex'' and ''combination'' joints:<ref name="titleIntroductory Anatomy: Joints">{{cite web |url=http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anatomy4.html |title=Introductory Anatomy: Joints |access-date=2008-01-29 |archive-date=2008-01-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080118135754/http://www.leeds.ac.uk/chb/lectures/anatomy4.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
# Simple joint: two articulation surfaces (e.g. [[shoulder joint]], [[hip joint]])
# Compound joint: three or more articulation surfaces (e.g. [[radiocarpal joint]])
# Complex joint: two or more articulation surfaces and an [[articular disc]] or [[meniscus (anatomy)|meniscus]] (e.g. [[knee|knee joint]])
