Synovial joints permit a wide range of movements including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction. These movements occur at the articulating surfaces of the bones, which are covered with hyaline or articular cartilage, allowing smooth movement. The joint cavity is filled with synovial fluid which provides lubrication and nourishment to the joint. Therefore, synovial joints are the only type of joint that permits the movement described in the question.
