The pivot joint is a type of synovial joint that allows rotational movement around a single axis.

Pivot joints only allow movement up to a fixed angle (nearly 180° or less) and do not allow a free rotation of 360°.

For example, the joint present on the back of our neck is a type of pivot joint which allows us to move our head up and down or left and right.
