    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Podiatric Medicine
    • Skeletal Anatomy

    Background:

    • Accessory bones in the foot are often overlooked in surgical literature.
    • The hallux interphalangeal joint sesamoid is a specific accessory bone requiring surgical consideration.
    • Existing literature lacks comprehensive focus on surgical excision of these anomalies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing literature on accessory bone excision in the foot.
    • To describe a novel minimal incision surgical technique for hallux interphalangeal joint sesamoid excision.
    • To provide a detailed anatomical analysis relevant to the surgical procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of accessory bone excision procedures.
    • Description of a minimal incision surgical technique for hallux interphalangeal joint sesamoid excision.

  • Detailed anatomical dissection and analysis of the hallux region.

    • Main Results:

    • A comprehensive review of various excision techniques for the hallux interphalangeal joint sesamoid.
    • Successful application of a minimal incision technique.
    • Identification of key anatomical structures crucial for safe and effective excision.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimal incision surgery offers a viable approach for hallux interphalangeal joint sesamoid excision.
    • Thorough anatomical knowledge is essential for successful outcomes.
    • Further emphasis on accessory bone management in foot surgery is warranted.
