TI  - Prevalence of metacarpophalangeal sesamoid bones of the hand in Turkish population
AB  - Objectives: This study aims to investigate the prevalence andlocation of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) sesamoid bonesusing computed tomography (CT) images.Patients and methods: A total of 767 hands of 735 patients(503 males, 232 females; mean age: 36.9±17.0 years;range, 18 to 105 years) obtained from picture archiving andcommunication system were retrospectively analyzed betweenJanuary 2016 and December 2019. The sesamoid bones of MCPjoints I, II, III, IV, and V were recorded. Data including age, sex,side, number, pathologies, and location of the sesamoid boneswere recorded.Results: The prevalence of sesamoid bones was found to be100%, 37.61%, 1.17%, 0.5%, and 80% in MCP I, II, III, IV, and V,respectively. There was no significant correlation between the sexof the patient and presence of sesamoid bone at MCP II or MCPV (p>0.970 and p=0.176, respectively). The presence of sesamoidbone at MCP II was statistically significantly correlated withthe presence of sesamoid bone at MCP V (p<0.001). There wasno statistically significant difference in the side and sesamoidprevalence in the remaining 703 patients (p>0.05).Conclusion: The prevalence of MCP V sesamoid bone ishigher than previous studies from our country. The CT of handcan be used to determine sesamoid fractures and degenerativeconditions of sesamoids.
