  • Title: Interphalangeal sesamoid bones of the great toe: an anatomic variant demanding careful scrutiny of radiographs.
    Author: Davies MB, Abdlslam K, Gibson RJ.
    Journal: Clin Anat; 2003 Nov; 16(6):520-1. PubMed ID: 14566900.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who was found to have two sesamoid bones at the interphalangeal joint of the right great toe after radiographs for dislocation of the joint. Recognition of the sesamoids required careful scrutiny of the films. Interphalangeal sesamoids may cause painful callosities plantar to the joint or may become incarcerated in a dislocated joint. Our patient made a good recovery. The presence of sesamoid bones on the medial and lateral sides of the joint was unusual.
