An orthopaedic surgeon can answer that.  Ask someone that you trust to recommend a good doctor.  Sometimes you need surgery.  Sometimes physical therapy.  Sometimes both. Put your mind and heart to rest and make an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon NOW. Don't imagine for ONE moment that anyone answering your question on this site knows the answer.  SEE A GOOD ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON SOON. Good luck to you.

The term "double jointed" means having joints loose enough to snap in and out of regular position.  There is no difference in their bones, but in the tendons that connect, support and move those bones.

Synovial joints (or Diarthroses, or diarthroidal joints) are the most common and most moveable type of joint in the body.\n\nWHICH MEANS IT IS A SYNOVIAL JOINT THERE ARE NO "TYPES"

You could always ask your surgeon. He/she would be the one with the correct answer. I work for Orthopaedic surgeons, but I would not make a suggestion. Sorry

Exact criteria is asking a lot.\n\nAll I can suggest is the Wikipedia entry.

I suggest you go to a doctor of kinesiology.  \n"Kinesiology is a method of maintaining health by ensuring that all muscles are functioning correctly. It is believed that each muscle is connected with a specific part of the body such as digestive system, circulation of the blood and specific organs, and if a muscle is not functioning correctly this will cause a problem in its related part of the body."\n\nA good kinesiologist will be able to diagnose correctly what it is you are suffering from.  You should be able to find a practitioner by doing an internet search in your area.  I hope this information helps.  Take care.

This is not a simple question to answer because it depends upon the purpose of the classification and to some extent the criteria for the taxonomy.\nHave a look here:

•  Osteoarthritis  \n\nOsteoarthritis (OA, also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease, and sometimes referred to as "arthrosis" or "osteoarthrosis"), is a condition in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in the joints, caused by wearing of the cartilage that covers and acts as a cushion inside joints. As the bone surfaces become less well protected by cartilage, the patient experiences pain upon weight bearing, including walking and standing. Due to decreased movement because of the pain, regional muscles may atrophy, and ligaments may become more lax. OA is the most common form of arthritis. The word is derived from the Greek word "osteo", meaning "of the bone", "arthro", meaning "joint", and "itis", meaning inflammation, although many sufferers have little or no inflammation. \n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoarthritis\n------------------------------------\n \n\n-------------------------------------\n\nBrittanica\nA disorder of the joints, characterized by progressive deterioration of the articular cartilage. It is the most common joint disease, affecting more than 80 percent of those who reach the age of 70. Although its suffix indicates otherwise, osteoarthritis is not characterized by excessive joint inflammation.

Sounds like a HINGE joint.  Not sure if you're referring to the type of joint or the name.  Elbows and knees are types of hinge joints
