Turf Toe causes immediate, sharp pain and swelling, and may result in injury to soft tissue attached to the sesamoid or a fracture of the sesamoid.
Fracture : can be either acute or chronic Acute Fracture: is caused by trauma — a direct blow on impact to the bone. Acute Fractures produce immediate pain and swelling to the sesamoid site but does not affect the entire big toe joint.
Chronic Fracture: is a stress fracture a hairline break usually caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Sesamoiditis: is an overuse injury involving chronic inflammation of the sesamoid bones and tendons involved with those bones.
Sesamoiditis is associated with a dull, longstanding pain beneath the big toe joint. Foot pain comes and goes, usually occurring with certain shoes or certain activities. I wanted to know what sesamoid bones were and what they do, BUT through my research, it appears researchers still do not know exactly what they do or why they exist.
The following provides some general themes I found through a small literature search. They are found within tendons primarily in the hands and feet and are seen radiographically. There are sesamoid bones found in other locations as well including the patella and fabella in the knee and the pisiform on the wrist Yammine, In a study done by Yammine , it was found that women often have more sesamoid bones in their hands compared to men.
Fig 1. The presence and function of sesamoid bones still remains unclear; however, there are a few hypotheses that include both functional and phylogenetic ideas. Sesamoids are also believed to assist with joint stability and provide capsular strengthening Yammine, IMAIOS and selected third parties, use cookies or similar technologies, in particular for audience measurement.

Sesamoiditis is caused by increased pressure on the sesamoids. Often, sesamoiditis is associated with a dull, longstanding pain beneath the big toe joint. The pain comes and goes, usually occurring with certain shoes or certain activities. Diagnosis of Sesamoids Injuries in the Foot In diagnosing a sesamoid injury, the foot and ankle surgeon will examine the foot, focusing on the big toe joint.
Nonsurgical Treatment Nonsurgical treatment for sesamoid injuries of the foot may include one or more of the following options, depending on the type of injury and degree of severity: Padding, strapping or taping. A pad may be placed in the shoe to cushion the inflamed sesamoid area, or the toe may be taped or strapped to relieve that area of tension. The foot may be placed in a cast or removable walking cast. Crutches may be used to prevent placing weight on the foot.
Oral medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs , such as ibuprofen, are often helpful in reducing the pain and inflammation. Physical therapy.
