Description: Pain related to the great toe sesamoids is uncommon in a general foot and ankle practice, but may be commoner where there is a large sports medicine component to the practice.
The hallux MTP sesamoids are embedded in the tendons of flexor hallucis brevis. They are subjected to the stresses of muscle contraction and MTP joint movement, and also to ground reaction force.
