Osteonecrosis of the tibial and fibular sesamoids in an aerobics instructor.
Osteonecrosis of the sesamoids is a fairly uncommon clinical entity. The development of this condition involving both sesamoids has never been presented in the American literature. After extirpation of the sesamoids and interdigital fusion, the patient returned to her regular activities, including dance.
