Fibrous joints are a type of joint where bones are connected by dense connective tissue, primarily made up of collagen fibers. These joints allow for little to no movement, providing stability and strength. Common examples include the joints between the bones of the skull, known as sutures, and the syndesmosis joints found between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. There are three main types of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Sutures are immovable joints found in the skull, while syndesmoses allow for slight movement, such as in the ankle. Gomphoses are peg-and-socket joints, like those between teeth and their sockets in the jaw.
