Is it possible to differentiate sesamoiditis from a sesamoid fracture or AVN?

Filed under: Foot and ankle surgery, Foot and ankle trauma — Jeffrey Oster, DPM @ 1:55 am

In the early stages of a sesamoid injury, it can be difficult to differentiate between these conditions.  Remember, when I say injury, it’s not necessarily a fall or abrupt injury that can lead to sesamoid injuries.  Many cases are simply due to foot structure that makes you predisposed to sesamoid injury.

Join us in this discussion on sesamoid injuries in The Foot Talk Forum for more information.  You can also find more information in our pages on sesamoiditis and sesamoid injuries.
