Syndesmosis

A type of fibrous joint in which two bones are joined together by a ligament or a membrane, allowing for minimal movement, such as the distal tibiofibular joint.

Osseous Union

The process by which the ends of broken bones heal and fuse together through the formation of new bone tissue.

Interosseous Membranes

Fibrous sheets that connect the bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) and the bones of the leg (tibia and fibula), providing stability and assisting in force transfer.
