Abstract
Fractures of the sesamoid bone in the metatarsophalangeal joint are seen more rarely than fractures of other foot bones. Therefore, studies in the literature are very limited in number. When a problem has been determined in the sesamoid bone, it is important to decide if it is an acute fracture or a bipartite sesamoid injury. In cases of medial forefoot pain in the Emergency Department, injuries to the sesamoid bones of the big toe should be evaluated in the differential diagnosis.
