Fixed joints are called fixed joints because they are fixed and fused together. The are immovable. Two examples are the ilium (end of pelvic girdle) and the skull.
An example of a fixed joint is the skull
Movement is not possible incase of fixed joints
Fixed joints are formed by the skull bones.
The types of fixed joints are suture joints, gomphosis joints, and synostosis joints. Suture joints are found in the skull, gomphosis joints are where teeth articulate with the jawbone, and synostosis joints are where bones have fused together, such as in the skull bones of infants.
Trees are an example of structures in a natural environment that have fixed joints where branches meet the main trunk. Insects, such as beetles, also have exoskeletons with fixed joints at points like their legs and wings. Additionally, corals have fixed joints where their polyps connect to form colonies.

Examples of fixed joints in the human skeleton include the sutures between the bones of the skull, which are immovable. In contrast, examples of sliding joints include the joints between the carpal bones in the wrist, allowing for limited movement.
