Description[edit | edit source]
Sesamoid bones are a type of bone that develops in some tendons where they cross the ends of long bones[1]. Sesamoids ossify during puberty and delayed ossification can indicate delayed onset of puberty.
Sesamoid bones in the human body include:
- Patella - in the quadriceps tendon at the knee
- Hallux sesamoids - medial/tibia and lateral/fibular in the flexor hallucis brevis tendon at the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint
- In the hand at the head of the 1st metacarpal - 1 in the combined tendon of the flexor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis brevis, 1 in the tendon of the adductor pollicis
- Pisiform - in the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon
Function[edit | edit source]
Sesamoids protect tendons from excessive wear and act as a spacer to change the angle of tendons before the reach their attachment point[1]. The change in angle improves muscle force generation.
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
Pathology in sesamoids can be congenital or a result of trauma. Common pathology seen in sesamoid bones include:
- Bipartite or multipartite patella[2]
- Sesamoiditis
- Fracture - such as patella fracture
- Avascular necrosis[3]
Management of the different pathologies varies depending on the diagnosis. Physiotherapy or conservative management is typically the first line of treatment for atraumatic pathology of sesamoids.
