Table 1.
Type I | Dorsal dislocation with no disruption of the sesamoid mass, usually irreducible on closed reduction attempts |
Type 1IA | Dorsal dislocation with a rupture of the intersesamoidal ligament resulting in a wide separation of the sesamoids on the metatarsal head allowing an easier reduction to occur |
Type 1IB | Dorsal dislocation with a medial sesamoid transverse fracture, usually reducible |
Type III | Dorsal dislocation with the sesamoids maintaining the same anatomical position with complete ruptures of the conjoint tendons and intact sesamoids and volar plate |
