✦ Synopsis

Fracture of the thumb sesamoid bones is rare. We report here a fracture of the ulnar sesamoid in a 25-year-old man caused by a fall on his outstretched hand. He complained of pain and loss of thumb motion. Physical examination revealed tenderness, swelling, and a hematoma over the first metacarpal joint of the right thumb. Radiographs showed a fracture of the ulnar sesamoid which should not be confused with normal variants that occasionally arise from ossifications centers that fail to unite.

Free microvascular transfer of the second metatarsophalangeal joint was performed for the treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in a 15-year-old male patient. The result is excellent in one-year follow-up. The technique seems to be a good alternative to the problem in selected patients.
