Bipartite Hallux Sesamoid Injury

about dynamic ultrasound and MRi findings of post-traumatic injury of a medial bipartite hallux sesamoid bone

Today I show you the injury of a medial bipartite hallux sesamoid bone in a professional football player; extremely painful after trauma, it takes time to heal.

Standard X-Ray exam after trauma.

Medial Bipartite Sesamoid MRI

Sagittal (left) and Coronal (right) Ge-Stir Mri sequences (0.3 Tesla); bone marrow edema of the medial sesamoid is evident.

I always perform also the dynamic evaluation, both with ultrasound and Mri exams.
