Abstract

Sesamoid bones and accessory ossicles are common incidental findings on radiographs. These can occasionally become symptomatic, usually after a precipitating event such as an injury or overuse, or they can be incidental findings unrelated to the presenting pathology. The aim of this study was to highlight a rare case of a bipartite fifth metatarsal sesamoid bone and to review previous literature regarding sesamoid bones and accessory ossicles.
