  • Title: Tibial sesamoidectomy: a review of the literature and retrospective study.
    Author: Kaiman ME, Piccora R.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1983; 22(4):286-9. PubMed ID: 6358334.
    Abstract:
    Tibial sesamoid afflictions have been subject to various methods of treatment. A review of current concepts was challenged by a retrospective study involving patients in whom surgical intervention was performed. Data was collected from pre- and postoperative radiographs to determine if a change in the osseous relationships around the first metatarsophalangeal joint had occurred, thereby necessitating adjunctive procedures to compensate. The results obtained from our patient population substantiate the fact that a need does exist to evaluate these surgical candidates adequately in order to include additional procedures necessary to decrease morbidity.
