Re: Sesamoid bones

Sesamoids can sometimes be bipartite. Conservative treatment can include immobilization, padding, orthotics, injections of cortisone (only for chronic problems) and if all else fails- surgery.

As far as if it is a good idea to remove it or not. There is no answer that is always for everyone. You really need to discuss this with your doctor and make an informed discuss after having all your concerns addressed.
