A member asked:
Can you tell me what to expect with someone who has had the sesamoid bone removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which Sesamoid: The great toe will deviate towards the side of the remaining sesamoid in some cases and should be fixed if possible, rather than excised. The 'tibial' sesamoid is the one towards the middle of the toe, the 'fibular' sesamoid is the outside one and excision of either will cause the toe to deviate away from the side that has been excised. Look this up online if you need more information.
