Abstract
Summary: A case of haematogenous osteomyelitis of the medial first metatarsal sesamoid is presented and the differential diagnosis discussed. Review of the literature suggests that the condition is rarely seen and tends to present in childhood and adolescence. This contrasts with metatarsal sesamoid osteomyelitis due to direct spread of infection, which occurs in the elderly as an important complication of the diabetic foot.Keywords
