- Ankle SprainAbout 60 percent of all foot and ankle injuries, reported by the US population older than 17, were sprains and strains of the ankle.
- Bunions ProblemsBunions are often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. With a bunion, the big toe leans toward the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. This throws the bones out of alignment—producing the bunion’s “bump.”
