Radiographic findings are rare for the small avulsion fracture at the dorsal base of the middle phalanx. The best indication of central slip damage is inability to extend the PIP joint fully against active resistance. A central slip disruption is present unless proven otherwise when full extension cannot be performed.
Adipose Tissue. Adipose tissue is a lipid storing type of loose connective tissue. Also called fat tissue, adipose is composed primarily of adipose cells or adipocytes. While adipose tissue can be found in a number of places in the body, it is found primarily beneath the skin. Adipose is also located between muscles and around internal organs, particularly those in the abdominal cavity.
Fibrous connective tissue, sometimes referred to as FCT, is tissue made up of high-strength, slightly stretchy fibers. These fibers consist mainly of collagen, water, and complex strands of carbohydrates called polysaccharides.They provide support and shock absorption to surrounding organs and bones.he function of fibrous connective tissue is support and structure throughout the body. Cartilage is a common form of fibrous connective tissue. Arthritis is a disease that affects connective tissue. Fibrous connective tissue forms strong, elastic structures called tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to the bone.
