The joint is a synovial joint, comprised of a common outer fibrous capsule and three inner synovial pouches, one for each joint.  Numerous ligaments add to the stability of the joint and ensure movement is largely limited to the [[Planes and Axes - Anatomy & Physiology|sagittal plane]], although no collateral ligaments exist in the dog between the radius and the proximal metacarpals.  This allows a very small amount of rotation.
