The pathologies and lesions affecting the sesamoid bones of the hallux are uncommon and can be easily overlooked. Among them, sesamoiditis is a relatively rare condition known to cause severe great toe pain; lack of awareness of this particular entity leads to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and contributes to significant morbidity. Herein, we present a chronic sesamoiditis case occurring on a medial bipartite sesamoid bone, presenting as chronic great toe pain. The main purpose of this work is to discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging and X-rays in the diagnosis process. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of great toe sesamoiditis occurring on a bipartite bone in no-athletic patients have yet been reported.
影响拇趾籽骨的病变并不常见，很容易被忽视。其中，籽骨炎是一种相对罕见的病症，已知会导致严重的大脚趾疼痛；对这种特殊病症缺乏认识会导致误诊、延误治疗，并造成严重的发病率。在此，我们报告一例发生在内侧二分籽骨上的慢性籽骨炎病例，表现为慢性大脚趾疼痛。这项工作的主要目的是讨论磁共振成像和X射线在诊断过程中的作用。据我们所知，尚未有非运动员患者二分籽骨发生大脚趾籽骨炎的病例报道。
