Question:
What is a small sesamoid bone of the hand and when does it require treatment?
I had an accident 15 yrs ago and injured my right hand. I am now having some pains on the wrist. After an X-ray was done, the following observation was made, " Small Sesamoid bone near base of first and second metacarpals." What does this mean and does it require treatment?
Answers:
sesamoid bones are perfectly normal anatomical variants, you have them in several places including your feet, and your patella/kneecap is the largest sesamoid bone in the body!
