An example of an interosseous fibrous joint is the syndesmosis between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. This type of joint is characterized by the presence of a fibrous connective tissue that connects the bones, allowing for very little movement. The interosseous membrane, a sheet of dense fibrous tissue, spans the space between the tibia and fibula, providing stability and support to the lower leg while permitting slight movement to accommodate forces during activities like walking or running.
