Joints which allow very little or no movement are called fibrous joints (joints held together by fibrous connective tissue).There are three types of fibrous joints:

  1. Sutures are the seams that join the bones of the cranium.
  2. Gomphoses are fibrous joints in the shape of a socket such as where the teeth attach to the jaw. These are the only Gomophose joints in the human body.
  3. Syndesmoses are fibrous joints which allow a very small amount of movement due to interosseous membranes or ligaments connecting the bones. The place where the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg) join at the ankle is a Syndesmosis joint.
