Abstract

Numerous normal anatomic variants including different accessory ossiclesand sesamoid bones are found around the foot and ankle region. They areusually of no clinical importance and are often recognized as an incidentalradiographic finding. However, in the context of trauma, these ossicles maycause misdiagnosis due to various radiological pitfalls and this may result inunder or overtreatment. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of these accessoryossicles and sesamoid bones is important for the physician to recognize thepathologic process and normal anatomic variants. This pictorial review sum-marizes the most common accessory ossicles found around the foot and an-kle in skeletally mature subjects and the fractures that may cause confusionwith accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones.

Özet

Ayak ve ayak bileği çevresinde, normal anatomik varyant sayılan çok sayıda aksesuar ve sesamoid kemik bulunmaktadır. Bunlar genellikle herhangi bir klinik önem taşımazlar ve tesadüfi bir radyolojik bulgu olarak saptanırlar. Ancak, travma varlığında, bu kemikçikler radyolojik olarak yanlış tanıya ve gereksiz tedavilere neden olabilirler. Bu sebeple, acil hekimlerinin normal anatomik varyantları tanıması, aksesuar ve sesamoid kemikler hakkında bilgi sahibi olması önemlidir. Bu derlemede aksesuar ve sesamoid kemikle ile karışıklığa neden olabilecek kırıklar ve ayak ve ayak bileği çevresinde bulunan en yaygın aksesuar kemikçikler özetlemiştir.
