Accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones are bone structures that have completed ossification that mimic fractures and cause various diseases in the foot. They are discovered by chance on radiographs and are often overlooked, and lead to misdiagnosis. For this reason, it was aimed to determine the frequency of the accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones in the radiographic images of the patients who were admitted to the emergency department with foot and ankle complaints. Anteroposterior, oblique and lateral foot radiographs of patients (506) admitted to the Emergency Service were evaluated retrospectively. The presence, prevalence, coexistence and distribution of accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones were analyzed in detail according to gender and extremity sides. In 506 foot radiographs, accessory ossicles were detected in 18.4% and sesamoid bones in 86.4%. The most common accessory ossicles were accessory navicular (11.5%), os peroneum (3.6%), os trigonum (1.8%), os supranaviculare (0.4%), os vesalianum (0.2%), os supratalare (0.2%), os subfibulare (%0.6) ve os calcaneus secundarius (%0.2). We observed hallux sesamoid in 86.4% of radiographs. Interphalangeal sesamoid bone of the hallux was seen in 2% of radiographs. Incidences of MTP I were found as 2% in the MTP II, 0.4% MTP IV and 6.7% MTP V. In conclusion, although the results of the study are within the ranges stated in the literature, they differ significantly from other literature reports because the study group consisted of different population and age groups and only patients who applied to the emergency department were included.
