Amphiarthrosis

Overview
Amphiarthrosis is a type of continous joint. In Amphiarthroses (slightly movable articulations), the contiguous bony surfaces are either:


 * symphysis: connected by broad flattened disks of fibrocartilage, of a more or less complex structure, as in the articulations between the bodies of the vertebrae. An example is the sternocostal joint.


 * syndesmosis: united by an interosseous ligament, as in the inferior tibiofibular articulation.
