“…These fractures have perhaps the greatest tendency for nonunion and can result in incapacitating pain on athletic activity. 7 Any type of injury to the fibular sesamoid is uncommon, and there is very little literature available on the topic. To the best of our knowledge, no case of such an injury associated with cricket has been published.…”

An unusual case of fibular sesamoid stress fracture in the back foot of a bowler is presented. The diagnosis was delayed due to the lack of awareness of the support medical staff of the cricketer. Special radiological views and computed tomographic scans confirmed the diagnosis; nonoperative measures cured the pain, but this recurred on subsequent bowling activities. The current player gave up the game, but the literature supports operative intervention in cases that fail conservative regimens. This case is presented to highlight the occurrence of this rare injury in fast bowlers, and we recommend careful examination of the foot when it is the trailing foot, because this has significant forefoot dorsiflexion during the stance phase.
