An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones forming a type of syndesmosis joint. Interosseous membranes in the human body: Interosseous membrane of forearm.

Also, what muscles attach to the interosseous membrane? It is in relation, in front, with the Tibialis anterior, Extensor digitorum longus, Extensor hallucis proprius, Peronæus tertius, and the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve; behind, with the Tibialis posterior and Flexor hallucis longus.

In respect to this, is the interosseous membrane a ligament?

The interosseous membrane is designed to shift compressive loads (as in doing a hand-stand) from the distal radius to the proximal ulna. The interosseous membrane is composed of five ligaments: - Central band (key portion to be reconstructed in case of injury) - Accessory band.

Where do you find syndesmosis?

The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Its located near the ankle joint, between the tibia, or shinbone, and the distal fibula, or outside leg bone. Thats why its also called the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
