The hallux sesamoids are vulnerable to significant injury and weight-bearing stress in both the athlete and the nonathlete. Unfortunately, they are often dismissed as inconsequential accessory bones. The historical significance, embryology, anatomy, and physiology of the sesamoids and the salient features of both traumatic and nontraumatic pathologic conditions affecting these structures are presented. Because the sesamoids can be responsible for prolonged disabling foot pain and discomfort, it is important for both clinician and radiologist to pay attention to these bones and recognize the early signs of abnormality.
无论是运动员还是非运动员，拇籽骨都容易受到严重损伤和负重压力。不幸的是，它们常常被视为无关紧要的附属骨骼而被忽视。本文介绍了籽骨的历史意义、胚胎学、解剖学和生理学，以及影响这些结构的创伤性和非创伤性病理状况的显著特征。由于籽骨可能导致长期的足部致残性疼痛和不适，临床医生和放射科医生都应重视这些骨骼，并识别异常的早期迹象，这一点很重要。
