0 relating to the condyle (= a round part at the end of a bone that forms part of a joint):
condyloid articulation
a condyloid joint
The angle is obtuse (175), and the condyloid portion is nearly in line with the body.
They are condyloid joints meaning an elliptical or rounded surface (of the metatarsal bones) come close to the shallow cavities (of the proximal phalanges).
The back part of the mandible is relatively low and on it, the coronoid and condyloid processes are about equally high.
It is considered a plane synovial joint, also commonly referred to as a condyloid joint.
The condyloid process is thicker than the coronoid, and consists of two portions: the condyle, and the constricted portion which supports it, the neck.
At the base of either condyle the bone is tunnelled by a short canal, the hypoglossal canal (anterior condyloid foramen).
The block is done at the level of the neck of the mandible near the condyloid process.
Much of the back of the jaw is missing, including the angular, condyloid, and coronoid processes.
