Crush Fracture of Sesamoid Bone of Thumb

Fracture of the medial tibial sesamoid bone of the foot-case report.

The sesamoid bone ligament complex of foot contains two sesamoid bones one medial tibial sesamoid and other lateral fibular sesamoid bone, both embedded in the plantar ligament beneath first metatarsal head. The incidence of medial tibial sesamoid bone fracture is rare. Clinically they are often misdiagnosed as soft tissue injuries and often missed. We present a case of fracture medial tibial s...

Case Report: Oblique Fracture of the Ulnar Sesamoid Bone of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint, a Rare Pathology

INTRODUCTION Fractures of the sesamoid bones of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) are a rare pathology in hand trauma. Only a few case reports and case series were found in literature. The diagnosis of an ulnar sesamoid bone fracture of the MCPJ is difficult and can pose a differential diagnostic problem with Stener lesions or ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) instability. This pathology is fr...

Sesamoid Bone Blocking Fracture Reduction in Traumatic Injury of First Metatarsal

We describe a patient who sustained an extra-articular, oblique and angulated first metatarsal fracture. The medial hallucal sesamoid bone was subsequently found to have entered the fracture gap preventing reduction. We describe treatment of this rare injury with a successful outcome.

The scapula is a sesamoid bone.
