In a normal foot, the sesamoids are two pea-shaped bones located in the ball of the foot beneath the big toe joint. Acting as a pulley for tendons, the sesamoids help the big toe move normally and provide leverage when the big toe pushes off during walking and running.
S92. 902A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S92. 902A became effective on October 1, 2021.
In many people, the sesamoid bone nearer the center of the foot (the medial sesamoid) has two parts (bipartite). Because the edges of a bipartite medial sesamoid are generally smooth, and the edges of a fractured sesamoid are generally jagged, an X-ray is useful in making an appropriate diagnosis.

Anatomy. The two sesamoid bones of the big toe metatarsophalangeal joint are contained within the tendons of Flexor Hallucis Brevis and forms portion of the plantar plate. There are two sesamoids, tibial (medial) and fibular (lateral) sesamoids.
The hallux sesamoids are ovoid-shaped ossicles, separated from each other by the intersesamoidal ridge. There is a medial (tibial) and lateral (fibular) hallux sesamoid, which are embedded within the substance of the medial and lateral slips of the tendon of the flexor hallucis brevis muscle respectively 1.
A sesamoid bone is a small bone that is commonly found embedded within a muscle or tendon near joint surfaces, existing as focal areas of ossification and functioning as a pulley to alleviate stress on that particular muscle or tendon.
Bipartite medial sesamoid. These are the sesamoid bones of the big toe and are a normal variant. Normally, there is one medial (tibial) and one lateral (fibular) sesamoid.
What is a Sesamoid Fracture? A sesamoid fracture is a break in the sesamoid bone. Sesamoids are two small, pea-shaped bones located in the ball beneath the big toe joint at the bottom of the foot. Sesamoid bones are connected to muscles and other bones by tendons that envelop these bones.
