Abstract

The metatarso-phalangeal sesamoid bones in the foot are a cause of a great deal of forefoot pain. Their importance should be reported in the medical literature due to damage that is caused by direct trauma and sport. Five case reports each highlight different etiological causes, and the discussion presents an outline for objective management: conservative and surgical.
