Hi! The joints that connect the four fingers with the metacarpal bones are called metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP joints). These are synovial joints, which means they have a fluid-filled cavity to enable smooth movement. They primarily allow flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements, providing dexterity and function to the hand.
