The first metatarso-sesamoid joint is separately identified from the first metatarso-phalangeal joint and its anatomical characteristics are described from a study of one hundred anatomical specimens of normal adult and children's feet and two hundred radiographs of patients' feet. The author finds that the metatarso-sesamoid joint is assymmetrical both in children and adults, the medial surface being larger than the lateral. The medial sesamoid lies centrally, and the lateral sesamoid lies laterally, under the head of the first metatarsal. A knowledge of the shape and function of this joint is important in understanding the pathology as well as the therapeutic indications of various conditions of forefoot imbalance, mainly of hallux valgus.
第一跖籽关节可与第一跖趾关节分开识别，通过对100例正常成人及儿童足部解剖标本和200例患者足部X光片的研究，描述了其解剖学特征。作者发现，跖籽关节在儿童和成人中均不对称，内侧表面大于外侧。内侧籽骨位于中央，外侧籽骨位于第一跖骨头下方的外侧。了解该关节的形态和功能对于理解前足失衡（主要是拇外翻）的病理学及治疗指征非常重要。
