Differences and similarities of the types of joints. The similarities of synovial joints and slightly movable joints are that they both can move in different directions, but fixed joints cannot move at all because they are fused together and have no joint cavity.ynovial joints. Synovial joints are freely movable and the most common type of joint. The Synovial joint has existence of capsules surrounding the articulating surfaces of a Synovial joint and the presence of lubricating Synovial fluid within that capsule.
