Yes it is possible : Yes you can have a bipartite sesamoid on 1 foot and where the sesamoid bone is “normal” the other foot. Yes it could’ve been fractured it also could’ve developed that way normally there is no way of knowing unless you have previous x-rays. To be honest fracture or not treatment would still be the same. Fractures very rarely heal back together. Orthotic or a surgical removal
