• Source: Condyle

A condyle (; Latin: condylus, from Greek: kondylos; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an 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:
Medial condyle
Lateral condyle
On the tibia, in the knee joint:
Medial condyle
Lateral condyle
On the humerus, in the elbow joint:
Condyle of humerus (Condylus humeri)
On the mandible, in the temporomandibular joint:
Mandibular condyle
On the occipital bone, in the atlanto-occipital joint:
Occipital condyles
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.
