Abstract
Stress fractures of the great toe sesamoids have not been previously confirmed as a clinical entity. In this report, we present four such cases, and document the diagnosis by histological sections. All of the patients had experienced the insidious onset of activity-related forefoot pain, and had radiographs that demonstrated a sesamoid fracture. None of the fractures healed with 6 weeks of immobilization and prolonged (4-6 months) inactivity. IN all cases, the fractured sesamoid was excised, and the hematoxylin and eosinsections of the fracture segments documented the prefracture stress and incomplete repair characteristic of a stress fracture.
