Oblong Sesamoid Bone Appearance into the Nuchal Ligament. A Case Report

Sesamoid ossicles within the nuchal ligament: a report of two cases and review of the literature.

Sesamoid ossicles are ovoid or round nodular small bones found usually within a joint or tendon of the upper and lower limb and rarely at other regions. They are usually asymptomatic, resulting in an increased propensity to injuries. We report on two cases where sesamoid ossicles were detected within the nuchal ligament. The first one was a 55-years-old Caucasian male office employee, complaini...

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...

The Ossified Caroticoclinoid Ligament and Interclinoid Ligament in a Specimen of Sphenoid Bone: A Case Report

The interclinoid ligaments between the anterior, middle and posterior clinoid process are occasionally ossified. A bony bridge between the anterior and middle clinoid process and another between the anterior and posterior clinoid process was found in a dry specimen of one adult sphenoid bone. It was found bilaterally, like a ring around the sella turcica. The occasional presence of this ossifie...

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...
