Prevalence, structure, and locations of sesamoid bones of the hand. [5] [6] Sesamoid bones can be found on joints throughout the human body, including: In the knee—the patella (within the quadriceps tendon). This is the largest sesamoid bone. [4] In the hand—two sesamoid bones are commonly found in the distal portions of the first ...
Accessory bones of the ankle. [13]Accessory bones at the ankle mainly include: Os subtibiale, with a prevalence of approximately 1%. [14] It is a secondary ossification center of the distal tibia that appears during the first year of life, and which in most people fuses with the shaft at approximately 15 years in females and approximately 17 years in males.
The pisiform is a sesamoid bone, with no covering membrane of periosteum. It is the last carpal bone to ossify. The pisiform bone is a small bone found in the proximal row of the wrist . It is situated where the ulna joins the wrist, within the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. [1]: 199, 205

The fabella is a small sesamoid bone found in some mammals embedded in the tendon of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle behind the lateral condyle of the femur. It is an accessory bone, an anatomical variation present in 39% of humans. [1] [2] Rarely, there are two or three of these bones (fabella bi- or tripartita).
They are one of five types of bones: short, long, flat, irregular and sesamoid. Most short bones are named according to their shape as they exhibit a variety of complex morphological features (They can be cuboid, lenticular, trapezoidal, etc.) [1] [2] Some authors state that short bones are only located in the carpals and tarsals.
