Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Isolated traumatic hallucal sesamoid dislocation represents a rare entity in the annals of orthopaedic foot trauma. Only a few publications limited to case reports exist hitherto in the literature. Herein we report the case of a male adolescent with proximal traumatic dislocation of the fibular sesamoid, managed surgically with open reduction and repair of ruptured first MTP joint capsule. At three months follow up, the patient was asyptomatic and had fully resumed his normal daily activities.
