Introduction Sesamoiditis of the Metatarsophalangeal joint is a broad term categorizing a range of pathologies that can be painful and disabling. The aim of this review was to discuss sesamoiditis of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Conclusion As its definition and categorization is inconsistent throughout the literature available, more clinical data and audits are needed to increase the existing pool of literature in establishing a universal definition. However, a high index of suspicion of sesamoiditis and MRI scan remains the key for diagnosis after any pathology arises in the MTP joint, as it is an easily missed condition.
