Sesamoid fracture

Discussion:

Bipartite sesamoid bones are commonly seen normal variant.

In our case, additional view demonstrated acute fracture of tibial sesamoid (abductor hallucis tendon sesamoid) which was initially misinterpreted as bipartite sesamoid.

It is important to have at least two views provided for correct interpretation of plain radiographs so that the pathology mimicking normal variant could not be missed.
