The only sesamoid bone found in the gastrocnemius is the fabella. The patella is a sesamoid bone found in front of the knee joint. The calcaneus is the heel bone and not found within the gastrocnemius muscle. The tibialis is a muscle and not a bone. The hallux is the big toe and not a bone found within the gastrocnemius muscle.
