[@bex1351]

I'm not a runner ... i subscribed because i like your drawing 😂

[@DocOnTheRun]

Thank you so much!!

[@Tod_oMal]

Thanks. And there is nothing wrong with your drawings and your writing.

I kept waiting to hear what I can do about a broken sesamoid bone, but it was never mentioned.

[@DocOnTheRun]

Thank you very much for watching. The video does not mention what you should do about a broken sesamoid bone, because this video is not about treatment of sesamoid injuries. This video is about the difference between a broken sesamoid bone versus a bipartite sesamoid bone. I'm sorry you were disappointed.

I think it can just be removed surgically. Check sesamoidectomy.

[@toastykitties]

Can you have a stress fracture on a bipartite sesamoid?

[@DocOnTheRun]

Thank you for the question. I have recorded an episode to provide a complete answer. Hope it helps!

[@swastikgrover3414]

I have Bipartite sesamoid and I can feel it whenever I pronate. I used to be perfectly fine putting tremendous force through the medial pets of foot when cutting and juking, but this has really derailed my football career. I have tried conservative treatment for a while, what can I do?

Hey Doc, good job!! Dr Rich Blake

[@DocOnTheRun]

Thank you, Dr. Blake! True compliment coming from you!

[@dinohildago4044]

pain in the big toe and I only have ONE sesamoid! where did it go?

[@DocOnTheRun]

@@dinohildago4044 good question!

[@hook8535]

Hi Doc on the run. Do you guys have a definitive answer as to weather an athlete with this could come back to full power/spring/endurance in the running and agility sense ( I play soccer at semi professional level ) and wonder if I will ever get that complete spring back that I miss. I’m at a loss right now

[@DocOnTheRun]

I am sorry top hear about your injury. I cannot give you any definitive answer without understanding you, your injury and specific goals/timelines. Just curious...why are you reaching out to me specifically?

[@Shawn_DC]

I have a bipartite sesamoid and high arched feet, so I have chronic sesamoiditis. I have insoles that help but if I walk on the hardwood without it brings on the sesamoiditis right away. I wish there was more information on this, I want to make it better without surgery

[@DocOnTheRun]

Thank you for watching and for sharing your story so others can learn from your experience!

[@Number-id8ld]

What is the current status? Did the foot repair or is this still a problem?

[@angelica2275]

What kind of insoles work for you, can you share the name? Where can I find it? :)

[@Shawn_DC]

@@angelica2275 I went to a podiatrist and got custom insoles for my feed. They added some relief in the sesamoid area
