Guest guest Posted July 18, 2000 Report Share Posted July 18, 2000 >Dear Jen in VanCouver, Perhaps a little inside medical inf could help. Sesamoid bones are accessory bones that do not behave a particular function, except the knee cap. If you fractured a sesamoid, it would have required a great deal of force. Obesity provides us with extra intrinsic force due to gravity. Are you sure you did not fracture one of your metatarsals?
