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 metacarpal bone (within the tendons of adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis brevis).
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.
