A condyle (Script error: No such module "IPAc-en".;[1][2] Template:Langx, from Template:Langx; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a synovial joint – an encapsulated articulation with another bone. It is one of the markings or features of bones, and can refer to:
- On the femur, in the knee joint:
- On the tibia, in the knee joint:
- On the humerus, in the elbow joint:
- Condyle of humerus (Condylus humeri)
- On the mandible, in the temporomandibular joint:
- On the occipital bone, in the atlanto-occipital joint:
Although not generally termed condyles, the trochlea and capitulum of the humerus act as condyles in the elbow, and the femur head acts as a condyle in the hip joint.
Condyle may also be used to describe an intrusion of the endocarp into the seed cavity of flowering plants like Abuta.
