Only the abstract is linked here. It shows the dilemma patients are left with when they have bi- or tri-partite sesamoids. Fractures are missed and a needless year of suffering is documented here. We fracture at weak spots in bone. The junction between two fragments of bone like a bipartite sesamoid is such a weak spot. In so many cases, the injury is called a normal variant, and the possibility that there is a possible fracture is dismissed. If you have pain in your big toe joint, and the x-ray shows a bipartite or tripartite sesamoid, discuss the probability that this can be a fracture with your physician.

Hi! I was wondering if you could take a look at my MRI and let me know your professional opinion on whether my sesamoid is bipartite or fractured? The findings said bipartite with bone marrow edema. My podiatrist, who said they don’t bother looking at the MRI images just the findings, is wanting to just treat it like bipartite with sesamoiditis. But my foot is in a lot of pain. To the point that in a walking boot I have to put a really thick DIY dancers pad in using medical felt and I can still only walk short distances.
