AbstractFor the athlete a stress fracture of the great toe sesamoid is an injury of fundamental significance. As radiographic findings and bone scintigraphy are not specific, these fractures have the longest delay between first symptoms and definitive diagnosis. Apart from magnetic resonance imaging, the only accurate investigation for early diagnosis is the longitudinal bone scan.
