A syndesmosis is defined as a fibrous joint in which two adjacent bones are linked by a strong membrane or ligaments.This definition also applies for the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, which is a syndesmotic joint formed by two bones and four ligaments.
Most of the joints in the human body are one of the six types of synovial joint: ball and socket, plane, hunge, pivot, condyloid or saddle. The other type of joint is the fibrous joint, where dense (fibrous) connective tissue connects the bones. The three types of fibrous joints are suture, syndesmosis and gomphosis. Suture and gomphosis joints are completely immobile and syndesmosis joints have very little movement.
