Arthroscopic Synovectomy and Excision of a Sesamoid in the Management of an Atypical Presentation of Avascular Necrosis of Bone: A Case Report

초록

Avascular necrosis of a sesamoid bone is a rare and incompletely understood entity. Furthermore, associated lesions secondary to sesamoid pathology have seldom been described in the literature. We report a case of avascular necrosis of the medial sesamoid, accompanied by severe synovitis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, that was successfully managed with arthroscopic synovectomy and open excision of the sesamoid.
