A lesser metatarsal sesamoid is present medial to the fifth metatarsal head.
Medial hallucal sesamoid bone also is bipartite with no relation to recent trauma.
Case Discussion
The clinical significance of sesamoid bones is probably minor, but clinicians commonly ask about the sesamoid bones, and this may induce an unessential work-up.
