It has been proposed that absent, hypoplastic or multi partite hallucal sesamoid bones result from absent or incomplete ossification or from the fusion of multiple ossification centers. reported enchondral ossification, initiated in chondrification centers, appeared only at 8 years of age in girls, with a later onset in boys. With regard to the developmental timeline of the sesamoid bones of the forefoot, only one study has evaluated the ossification age of hallucal sesamoid bones in children. A specific evaluation of the occurrence of sesamoid bones of the forefoot has yet to be conducted with a Chinese population. The Han Chinese population is the world’s largest single ethnic group, constituting over 18.8% of the global population in 2011. By contrast, there is little information available regarding the occurrence rate of the sesamoids of the second to fifth toe, with the prevalence of these sesamoid bones known to vary greatly among different ethnic groups. The hallucal sesamoids have been well studied due to their consistent presence in humans and their relatively common implication in pathologies of the foot, including fractures, infections, arthritis, and osteonecrosis. In fact, the occurrence rate of sesamoid bones varies widely, from < 1% to approximately 100%, with some sesamoid bones always being present, such as the patella and the hallucal sesamoids, while others occur rarely, such as the os talotibiale (0.5%) and os intercuneiforme (0.03%). Sesamoid bones are round or oval-shaped small bones, which vary significantly in terms of occurrence, shape and distribution. Relevance for patients: Our study provides important anatomical data regarding the prevalence of sesamoid bones in the forefoot of a large population of Chinese adult and pediatric patients for use in clinical practice and research in forensic science and anthropology. Ossification begins in the hallucal MTP and IP joints at approximately 8 years of age, with the final ossification center being evidence for the sesamoid bone of the fourth MTP joint at 28 years of age. Moreover, a morphological variation in hallucal sesamoids was identified in 12.09% of feet, with variations classified into three distinct types according to bone size and the number of ossification centers. Results and Conclusions: The prevalence rate of a sesamoid bone associated with the first to fifth MTP joints and the first IP joint was 99.96%, 3.08%, 0.39%, 0.69%, 8.94%, and 59.22%, respectively. Methods: Antero-posterior (AP) and oblique radiographs of 4,417 left and 4,299 right feet obtained from 8,716 patients in the Hebei province of Northern China, and retrospectively examined for the presence of sesamoid bones, identified as a small oval bone plantar to each metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint and the first interphalangeal (IP) joint. Therefore, the aim of our study was to determine the distribution, morphological variation and ossification timeline of sesamoid bones of the forefoot in a large sample of the Chinese population. However, information for the Chinese population has not been previously reported. Background and Aim: Previous studies provided evidence of a genetic basis for the occurrence of sesamoids bone in the foot among different ethnic populations.
