title: Coalition of the hallux sesamoids: a case report.
abstract: Multiple variations in partition of the hallux sesamoids have been described; however, to our knowledge, a coalition of the hallux sesamoids has never been presented. A case of coalition of the hallux sesamoids is presented and the literature is reviewed with respect to the possible significance of this anomaly.
