In Greyhounds, 2 plantar sesamoid bones were identified in radiographs taken of the intact tarsus and also of the tarsometatarsal fibrocartilage, that had been dissected free from the joints. Anatomic dissections defined the precise position of each sesamoid. A prominent sesamoid was present on the lateral side of the tarsometatarsal articulation in 50% of the tarsi; it is proposed that this bone be named the lateral plantar tarsometatarsal sesamoid bone. A smaller bone was detected on the medial side of the tarsometatarsal articulation in 27% of the tarsi; it is proposed that this bone be named the intra-articular tarsometatarsal sesamoid bone.
在灵缇犬中，在完整跗关节以及已从关节游离出来的跗跖纤维软骨的X线片中发现了2块跖籽骨。解剖学研究确定了每块籽骨的确切位置。50%的跗关节中，在跗跖关节外侧有一块明显的籽骨；建议将这块骨头命名为外侧跖跗籽骨。27%的跗关节中，在跗跖关节内侧检测到一块较小的骨头；建议将这块骨头命名为关节内跗跖籽骨。
