Sesamoiditis is a condition that causes pain in the ball of the foot, at the base of the big toe.

2 Οκτ 2024 · Anything that places repetitive pressure or stress on the big toe can lead to sesamoiditis, such as high-impact sports, tight footwear, foot injuries or muscle imbalance. Here we will look at the common causes and symptoms of foot sesamoiditis, how it is diagnosed and the best treatment options.
Symptoms. Pain from a sesamoid injury is focused under the big toe on the ball of the foot. With sesamoiditis or a stress fracture, the pain may develop gradually. With a fracture, the pain will be immediate after trauma. Swelling and bruising may or may not be present.
A fracture (break) in a sesamoid bone can be either acute or chronic. An acute fracture is caused by trauma—a direct blow or impact to the bone. An acute sesamoid fracture produces immediate pain and swelling at the site of the break but usually does not affect the entire big toe joint.
Subhallucal interphalangeal sesamoid is one of the rare conditions known to cause severe great toe pain. Lack of awareness of this particular entity leads to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment and contributes to significant morbidity.
Sesamoiditis is pain at the sesamoid bones beneath the head of the first metatarsal, with or without inflammation or fracture. Diagnosis is usually clinical. Treatment is usually modification of footwear and orthotics.
