Tightness in the ankle and calf can also contribute to stress around the foot sesamoids. Therapists should address this early on in the intervention process. If the sesamoid bone fractures, the patient may need surgery to remove the bone fragments. The surgeon will attempt to leave as much of the sesamoid intact in order to prevent future stress and the formation of bunions. If there is no fracture, or following sesamoid surgery, rehab therapists have many options for treating an injured foot sesamoid.
