Almost all feet have two sesamoid bones found on the bottom of the big toe joint. These two sesamoids are oval, seed-shaped bones. Their purpose is to absorb weight-bearing forces to protect the tendon that runs on the underside of the big toe. They elevate the big toe, which is also known as the hallux, thus assisting in increasing the mechanical advantage of the tendon that bends the hallux toward the floor.Anatomy of the SesamoidEach of the two sesamoids found under the big toe joint have specific names. The sesamoid closer to the little toe side of the foot is termed the fibular sesamoid, and the sesamoid found on the big toe side of the foot is called the tibial sesamoid. If one of the oval shaped bones is in two pieces, it is termed bipartite and if the sesamoid is found in many pieces, it is termed a multipartite. Finally, the sesamoids are anchored to each other, also to the hallux and the first metatarsal by various ligaments and tendons.Symptoms of Sesamoid DisordersThe most common disorder is called sesamoiditis.

Recent studies showing strong evidence of vitamin d cancer fighting properties has increased the possibilities of finding a cure or ways to prevent the disease. A deadly disease which has been the bane of the modern society, cancer is caused by uncontrolled growth and division of a group of cells. These genetically abnormal cells divide rapidly and spread into adjacent healthy tissues forming malignant tumors. This invasion is followed by metastasis i.e. the breaking away of the cancer cells from the tumor and their spread by blood or lymph to different areas, which results in the spread of the disease through your body.Through decades, research has been carried out by scientists worldwide to find a cure or ways to prevent this disease. A major breakthrough came recently with scientific studies giving strong indications of the vitamin D cancerlink. Vitamin D is a type of rare vitamin present in foods such as fish rich in fatty oils like salmon, tuna, mackerel, cod liver oil, egg yolk, meat, and mushroom.
