The two broken pieces did not get back together, and the fractured sesamoid bone did not heal.  I was talking to a runner who had a sesamoid injury and she wanted to know whether or not surgery was a good option in her case.  We talked broadly speaking about three different possible kinds of sesamoid surgeries.
