The answer to this question would be: fossa

Fossa is a depression like structure in the bone. This structure will provide a stable join that can only move front or back. In elbow joint, the hinge has two fossa. The olecranon fossa is located in the back and coronoid fossa on the front. In this case, the olecranon fossa is having more contribution to the joint.
