This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of sesamoid bones in lower extremity radiographs and contribute to the existing body of knowledge on this topic. A systematic review of relevant literature was conducted to gather information on the prevalence, location, and variations of sesamoid bones in the lower extremities. Additionally, a cross-sectional study was carried out involving radiographic assessments of a selected population at ATBUTH, Bauchi. The sample size consisted of individuals who had lower extremity radiographs for various reasons. The research design employed in this study was descriptive, utilizing radiographic images and data collection forms. The data collected included demographic information, the presence or absence of sesamoid bones, location, and any associated pathologies or abnormalities. The collected data were analyzed using statistical methods, including descriptive statistics and inferential analysis to determine prevalence rates and potential correlations. Preliminary findings indicate a varying prevalence of sesamoid bones in the lower extremities, with specific attention to the feet. The presence of sesamoid bones was observed in a significant proportion of the study population, highlighting their importance in the anatomical structure of the lower extremities. Further analysis and interpretation of the data will provide insights into the prevalence rates of sesamoid bones, their distribution across different age groups and genders, and potential associations with lower extremity pathologies. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Medical Radiography project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and practice of justification of medical exposure among medical and dental practitioners in teaching hospitals within Kano metropolis»Pattern of bone scintigraphy findings in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria»Knowledge and awareness of radiation exposure and safety practice among patients undergoing medical imaging General Hospital Gusau»Evaluation of the prevalence of sesamoid bone in lower extremity radiographs (case study of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Universty Teaching Hospital Bauchi, Bauchi state)»The relevance of biomedical engineers on computer tomography (CT) in intensive care unit (ICU) Muhammad Abdullahi Wase Hospital
