The most common injury in sports involves a sprain of the ankle ligaments located on the outside or lateral aspect of the foot and ankle. Approximately 27,000 ankle sprains occur daily in the United states. Despite the high incidence of ankle sprains, there is a vast variety in treatment recommendations and treatment plans.
Composed of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over one hundred ligaments, tendons, and muscles, the foot (and the adjacent ankle joint) is an incredibly complex, dynamic and very important structure.
In the elderly, unintentional falls account for 80% of all admissions to hospitals across the United States. This gives us all sufficient reason to be concerned about the risk factors and reasons associated with falling and how each of us can prevent it from happening.
