Explanation

The "fibular sesamoid complex" refers to a small part of the foot, specifically under the big toe. It's made up of two tiny bones, called sesamoids, that are embedded within a tendon. These bones help with weight-bearing and help the toe move efficiently. This complex is called "fibular" because it's closer to the fibula, one of the bones in the lower leg.
