About Displaced Sesamoid Bone

A displaced sesamoid bone procedure in pediatric orthopedics addresses the misalignment of these small, pea-shaped bones embedded within tendons, typically under the big toe joint. In children and adolescents, displacement often results from acute trauma, repetitive stress in sports, or congenital variations. The procedure aims to realign or stabilize the bone to restore normal foot mechanics, alleviate pain, and prevent long-term complications like arthritis or chronic deformity. Treatment may involve closed reduction with immobilization or, in severe cases, surgical fixation or excision. Pediatric specialists tailor the approach to the child's growth plates and activity needs, ensuring optimal healing and function.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

Acute traumatic displacement from a fall or direct impact.
Chronic pain under the big toe joint unresponsive to conservative care (rest, orthotics).
Non-union or delayed union of a fractured sesamoid.
Severe sesamoiditis (inflammation) causing persistent disability.
Congenital malposition contributing to foot deformity (e.g., hallux valgus).
Displacement interfering with normal gait or athletic performance in active children.

How to prepare

Comprehensive clinical exam and imaging (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan) to assess displacement and surrounding structures.
Discussion of surgical vs. non-surgical options with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Pre-operative blood tests and medical clearance, especially if general anesthesia is planned.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if surgery is required.
Arranging post-procedure support (crutches, help at home).
Informing the surgical team of all medications and allergies.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the bone.
Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
Nerve or blood vessel damage leading to numbness or circulation issues.
Stiffness, scarring, or complex regional pain syndrome.
Failure of fixation, non-union, or recurrent displacement.
Altered foot biomechanics or transfer pain to other metatarsals post-excision.
Anesthesia-related risks (more relevant for surgical cases).

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization in a cast, boot, or stiff-soled shoe for 2-6 weeks to protect the reduction.
Strict elevation and icing to control swelling and pain in the first 48-72 hours.
Use of crutches or a walker to avoid weight-bearing as advised by the surgeon.
Gradual return to weight-bearing and physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion.
Regular follow-up visits for imaging to monitor healing.
Full return to sports and high-impact activities may take 3-6 months, depending on the procedure and healing.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient for closed reduction; 1 day for surgical fixation)
Expected recovery time: 6-8 weeks for basic healing; 3-6 months for full return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

Sara Davis is a 14-year-old competitive...

Sara Davis is a 14-year-old competitive gymnast who trains 20 hours a week. For three months, she experienced a persistent, sharp pain under the ball of her right foot, especially during floor routines and vault take-offs. It started as a dull ache but progressed to a point where she couldn't put full weight on her foot. An MRI confirmed a displaced tibial sesamoid bone in her first metatarsal. Her pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended a sesamoidectomy to remove the fractured and displaced bone fragment, explaining it was the only way to resolve the chronic pain and allow a return to high-impact sport. Sara was terrified the surgery would end her gymnastics career. The procedure was outpatient. The first two weeks on crutches in a protective boot were frustrating, but she diligently followed her physical therapy regimen. By three months, she was back to low-impact training, and at six months, she successfully returned to full competition. Her emotional journey was a rollercoaster, from fear and despair about losing her athletic identity to immense relief and cautious optimism as her pain vanished and her strength returned, making her more resilient.
