Sesamoid bones are small circular bones that are embedded in a tendon and do not technically articulate with another bone. The biggest sesamoid bone in the body is the patella, also known as the knee cap.
Actually its more of a trick question. the only bone that does not come in contact with any other bone in the body is the Hyoid bone. Even though the knee cap and other seasmoid bones don't technically articulate with any other bone they are still within close proximity, most often when this question is asked the answer being looked for is the Hyoid bone.

∙ 12y agoThe only bone in the body that does not form a part of a joint with another bone is the "hyoid" bone. This bone is found under the tongue and together with a number of muscles which form the floor of the mouth. The hyoid bone forms the base of support for the tongue and is important in functions such as speech and swallowing.
