  2. Syndesmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndesmosis

    A syndesmosis (“fastened with a band”) is a type of fibrous joint in which two parallel bones are united to each other by fibrous connective tissue. The gap between the bones may be narrow, with the bones joined by ligaments , or the gap may be wide and filled in by a broad sheet of connective tissue called an interosseous membrane . [ 1 ]

  3. Fibrous joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_joint

    A syndesmosis is a slightly mobile [4] fibrous joint in which bones such as the tibia and fibula are joined together by connective tissue. An example is the distal tibiofibular joint. Injuries to the ankle syndesmosis are commonly known as a "high ankle sprain".

  4. Interosseous membrane of forearm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interosseous_membrane_of...

    The interosseous membrane of the forearm (rarely middle or intermediate radioulnar joint) is a fibrous sheet that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and the ulna. It is the main part of the radio-ulnar syndesmosis , a fibrous joint between the two bones.

  5. Interosseous membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interosseous_membrane

    An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint. [1] Interosseous membranes in the human body: Interosseous membrane of forearm; Interosseous membrane of leg

  6. Joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint

    Other joints such as sutures between the bones of the skull permit very little movement (only during birth) in order to protect the brain and the sense organs. [3] The connection between a tooth and the jawbone is also called a joint, and is described as a fibrous joint known as a gomphosis. Joints are classified both structurally and ...

  7. Synarthrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synarthrosis

    The articulating surfaces of synarthroses have little or no mobility, and are strongly united to each other. For example, most of the joints of the skull are held together by fibrous connective tissue and do not allow for movement between the adjacent bones. This lack of mobility is important, because the skull bones serve to protect the brain. [3]

  8. Cuboideonavicular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboideonavicular_joint

    The cuboideonavicular joint is a joint (articulation) in the foot formed between the navicular bone and cuboid bone. The navicular bone is connected with the cuboid bone by the dorsal, plantar, and interosseous cuboideonavicular ligaments. It is a syndesmosis type fibrous joint. [1]

  9. Interosseous membrane of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interosseous_membrane_of_leg

    It is continuous below with the interosseous ligament of the tibiofibular syndesmosis, and presents numerous perforations for the passage of small vessels. It is in relation, in front, with the Tibialis anterior, Extensor digitorum longus, Extensor hallucis proprius, Peronæus tertius, and the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve ...
