Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The hallux sesamoids are small bones located beneath the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • They are essential for weight-bearing and biomechanics of the foot.
  • These bones are frequently overlooked despite their vulnerability to injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the hallux sesamoids.
  • To highlight their anatomical and physiological significance.
  • To discuss common pathological conditions affecting these structures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical, embryological, anatomical, and physiological data.
  • Analysis of traumatic and non-traumatic pathologies.
  • Emphasis on clinical and radiological recognition of abnormalities.

Main Results:

  • The hallux sesamoids play a significant role in foot function and are prone to injury.
  • Various traumatic and non-traumatic conditions can affect these bones.
  • Early recognition of abnormalities is crucial for effective management.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians and radiologists must recognize the importance of the hallux sesamoids.
  • Attention to these bones is necessary for diagnosing and managing foot pain.
  • Understanding sesamoid pathology can prevent prolonged disability.
