He said they did a follow-up scan earlier this week, which showed good healing of the
sesamoid bone, but they're going to wait two weeks before the next scan.
In the selected CT images with WW = 2350 HU, WL = 1180 HU settings and corresponding sections of the plastinated specimen; the metacarpal bone III and its sagittal ridge, the proximal
sesamoid bones, proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, distal phalanx, distal
sesamoid bone, branches of the suspensory ligament, collateral ligament, intersesamoidean ligament, deep digital flexor tendon, superficial digital flexor tendon, common and long digital extensor tendons were well determined.
Patella is the largest
sesamoid bone in the human body (
sesamoid bone refers to any bone that's embedded inside a muscle or a tendon).
[1] It is the largest
sesamoid bone [2] and its fracture accounts for approximately 1% of all fractures in adults.
The patella is the largest
sesamoid bone which ossifies from one center in 77% and from two or three centers in 23% of children.[2] Most of these ossification centers mutually fuse, but approximately 2% of them remain dissociated.[3] Although bipartite patella is usually asymptomatic, it can become painful following overuse or injury.
The most prevalent fractures were the radius fractures (15.6%) and the least common were the
sesamoid bone fractures (0.04%).

sesamoid bone of the hallux," Nihon Seikeigeka Gakkai Zasshi, vol.
The patella, which is the largest
sesamoid bone in our body, develops from a single ossification center in 77% of children, whereas in 23% of children this bone develops from 2 or 3 ossification centers.
Technically, it is a ligament (connecting bone to bone), but it has historically been referred to as a tendon because the patella is a
sesamoid bone. A bonepatellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft is the strongest of all biological substitutes; it achieves strong initial graft fixation using interference screws, allows bone-bone direct healing and offers rapid bony integration at the fixation points of the reconstruction [3,4].
The os peroneum is a round or oval-shaped juxta-articular
sesamoid bone that lies within the confines of the peroneus longus tendon.
The 7-2 second favourite for next month's Grade 1, has been ruled out for the season by Willie Mullins after suffering a chip to his
sesamoid bone.
