The scale of foot problems in the population is high, and highest in older people. Whilst podiatry is solely concerned with the foot, other professions with a broader remit are also involved in foot care, as not only the foot may be at risk but also there may be serious systemic sequelae. Foot problems can be usefully viewed from a functional, hierarchical perspective. The interventions required are suggested by considering problems according to this hierarchy. Many approaches exist for the management of foot conditions from educated self-care to surgery. In managing such conditions, multi-disciplinary approaches are required. Podiatry has developed considerably over the years, has a growing research base, an extensive scope of practice and anticipated developments. The profession can develop further, particularly in its preventative role, in terms of professional autonomy and in further increasing its evidence base.

“…11 If the first metatarsal is of normal length, shortening by osteotomy can introduce a risk of transfer metatarsalgia or stress fracture. 24 A recent systemic review 21 on distal metatarsal periarticular osteotomy reported that 30.5% of patients developed postoperative metatarsalgia. In the present study, preoperative examinations revealed that 8 (19%) of the 42 cases had metatarsalgia under the second or third metatarsal head.…”

“…Operative treatments for symptomatic hallux rigidus include cheilectomy, 4,10,16 distal metatarsal osteotomy, 2,15-17,29 phalangeal osteotomy, 5,25 sesamoidectomy, 24 interpositional arthroplasty, 13,23 arthroscopic debridement, 14 implant arthroplasty, 1,26 and arthrodesis. 6,9 Cheilectomy has been recommended as a first-step procedure for early-stage hallux rigidus with intact articular cartilage, 4,16 and is usually combined with other operative methods such as osteotomy or arthroplasty.…”

“…However, total sesamoidectomy for painful hallux rigidus has been reported to not cause such complications. 22 It is unlikely that the sesamoid itself but rather the surrounding ligamentous structures that are insufficient in causing the deformities present in surgical excision of the sesamoid, and possibly why it has not been reported in any cases of sesamoid agenesis, either partial or complete, until now.…”

he metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe differs from that of the lesser toes because it has a sesamoid mechanism and a set of intrinsic muscles that stabilize the joint and provide motor strength to the first ray.1 The hallucal sesamoids are a consistent entity in humans, originating in the tendons of flexor hallucis brevis. They appear within the seventh or eighth week of embryonic development as islands of undifferentiated connective tissue. By the twelfth week, chondrification begins, but it is not until 8 to 10 years of life through multiple ossification centers that they ossify. 2 Often these centers of ossification do not coalesce and remain partite in a significant portion of the population. The function of the hallucal sesamoids is to absorb weight-bearing forces and enhance the load-bearing capacity of the first ray. They power plantar flexion of the first ray by increasing the moment of the flexor hallucis brevis and function to elevate the first metatarsal head, which dissipates the forces on the metatarsal head.
