Surgeons On Arthritis Of The Foot And AnkleThere are three bones in each ankle joint. And these bones take a pounding every day. Treatment for a broken ankle depends on the exact site and severity of the fracture.
A bunion is an abnormal, bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. This big toe joint becomes enlarged, forcing the toe to crowd against your other toes.
A Jones fracture is a serious injury, which occurs near the base of the bone and disrupting the blood supply to the bone. An ankle-twisting injury may tear the tendon that attaches to this bone and pull a small piece of the bone away.
A condition marked by pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot. You may experience metatarsalgia if you're physically active and your feet are impacted by running and jumping, or by wearing ill-fitting shoes.
Picking The Right Running ShoePlantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of your foot — connecting your heel bone to your toes.
A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments are forced beyond their normal range of motion. This unnatural movement can stretch or tear the ligaments that help hold your ankle together.
Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. Stress fractures are caused by the repetitive application of force, often by overuse, and can arise from normal use of a bone that's been weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
Turf toe is a sprain to the ligaments around the big toe joint, which works primarily as a hinge to permit up and down motion.
