Hey buddy
As it's sesamoid bone it is found in the joint areas
These are the typical sesamoid bones (that develop in the vast majority of the human population): patella (in the quadriceps apparatus); 2 associated with the head of the 1st metacarpal (in the adductor pollicis and flexor pollicis brevis tendons); 2 associated with the head of the 1st metatarsal (in the flexor hallucis brevis tendon), pisiform (in the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon) - total 12 (rights and lefts). Also, some people consider the hyoid bone as a sesamoid bone (although most authorities do NOT). There is controversy about the lenticular process of the incus, whether or not is it typically attached to the rest of the incus. If it typically is attached, then it is NOT a sesamoid bone. If it typically is NOT attached, then it is a sesamoid bone. In addition, in the hands and feet there can be upwards of a dozen or more recognized variable sesamoid bones that can normally develop in some (although, a distinct minority) of people.
