Return to Sport Following Operative Treatment of Displaced Medial Sesamoid Fractures in NCAA Division I Football Players

“…3 In addition to acute injuries, hallux sesamoid stress fractures can occur, accounting for 1% to 3% of all stress fractures. 6 The medial (tibial) sesamoid is more commonly injured compared with the lateral (fibular) sesamoid. 5,6…”

Hallux Sesamoiditis - Radiological Diagnostics and Conservative Management

“…etiology As a part of the first MTP joint complex, sesamoid bones are prone to different acute and chronic injuries, such as acute fracture caused by trauma 7 , stress fractures 8,9,10 , chondromalacia, osteocartilaginous injury 11 , avascular necrosis 12 , osteochondritis 13 , bursitis, degenerative changes, inflammation, developmental anomalies14-18, all of which is clinically diagnosed under a broad term called sesamoiditis. The mechanism of injury is most commonly associated with overuse of the anterior part of the sole of the foot accompanied by excessive dorsiflexion of the great toe 19 .…”
