The plantar-medial cutaneous nerve is at risk with the surgical approach to the medial sesamoid. It is found directly underlying an incision made at the junction of the glabrous skin of the hallux and must be identified before the approach can proceed. Transection will result in a painful neuroma that impinges on the plantar-medial surface of the toe and cause problems with shoe wear. The only other structure that lies near the surgical field is the abductor hallucis tendon which lies dorsal to the incision.
