Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report a case of metatarsal pain with fragmented sesamoid bone; the lesion is medial sesamoid bone of the great toe. The imaging studies including radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT were performed. These imaging findings suggested osteonecrosis. Sesamoidectomy was done. The surgical biopsy specimen showed the osteonecrosis of the sesamoid bone. Osteonecrosis of the medial metatarsal sesamoid is an uncommon disorder. The suggestive radiography, CT and MRI findings rule out the other painful conditions of the sesamoid bone. The features are reviewed and differential diagnoses were discussed.
