I've been reading a lot about the history of Rome lately, so when I first saw the term "hallux rigidus," I wondered if I had accidentally stumbled into a history of Rome website, not a discussion of foot conditions.

An ankle sprain is bad. A high ankle sprain is really bad. If you have a fantasy sports team, and you read an injury update that says one of your players has a regular ankle sprain, you're not worried.

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says that about 25,000 people every day sprain an ankle. Considering my own experience with missteps, twists, rolls and trips, I find this stat completely unsurprising. It is amazingly easy to do nutty things to your ankles.
