Sesamoid Fracture PLEASE HELP

Sesamoid Fracture PLEASE HELP

Here is my x-ray report. Do they have any idea or just guessing?


** FINDINGS **:
Three views of the right foot reveal an irregular lucency in the
lateral sesamoid at the 1st MT head. This may represent a
fracture. Alternatively, this may be due to bipartite appearance
of the sesamoid. Correlate with clinical findings.

** IMPRESSION **:
Fracture vs bipartite lateral 1st MT head sesamoid. Correlate
Clinically

A radiologist can only describe what he/she sees on the x-ray film.
If you are having pain to the lateral sesamoid bone, the films suggest that you have a fracture.
Oftentimes, a split in the sesamoid can be a normal finding (called a bipartite sesamoid).
If you have pain there...most likely you have a fracture.
