Bipartite hallucal sesamoid bones: relationship with hallux valgus and metatarsal index.
Munuera PV, Domínguez G, Reina M, Trujillo P.
Department of Podiatrics, University of Seville, Seville, Spain.
Skeletal Radiol. 2007 Nov;36(11):1043-50.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to relate the incidence of the partition of the hallucal sesamoid bones to the size of the first metatarsal and the hallux valgus deformity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a sample of 474 radiographs, the frequency of appearance of bipartite sesamoids was studied. The length and relative protrusion of the first metatarsal, and the hallux abductus angle, were measured and compared between the feet with and without sesamoid partition.
RESULTS: The results showed that 14.6% of the feet studied had at least one partite sesamoid, that the sesamoid most frequently divided was the medial, and that unilateral partition was the most common. No difference was found in the incidence of partite sesamoids between men and women, or between left and right feet.
CONCLUSION: Protrusion and length of the first metatarsal are greater in feet with partite sesamoids than in feet without this condition. A significantly higher incidence of bipartite medial sesamoid was obtained in feet with hallux valgus compared with normal feet.

Prevalence, prevalence, prevalence!

Not "incidence"!

Pet hate, sorry.

How was metatarsal index measured?

Hi all !

paper in wich is explained how metatarsal index was measured is :

There is heterogeneity in the literature regarding the anatomy, exact location, and definition of
the intersesamoid ligament (IL). Anatomic knowledge of the IL and its variations are important
for surgeons who undertake corrective surgery for hallux abducto valgus (HAV). The IL was
dissected in 16 feet from 32 formalin-fixed cadavers (12 females, four males; mean age at death,
76.6 years) to examine its morphology. The length, width, and thickness of its constituent
bands were recorded with a digital caliper. Descriptive and correlational statistics were used to
investigate the relationships between band size, age at death, and sex. A literature review was
conducted to compare our data to those of previous studies. Results suggest that the size of the
sesamoids may change as a result of HAV deforming forces, which may cause lengthening of
the IL. The IL stabilizes the sesamoid apparatus of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ)
and should be evaluated in HAV correction. Anatomic knowledge of the complex morphology
and relations between the IL and sesamoids is critically important for surgeons correcting HAV
deformities.
