“Made of 185 parts, your feet and ankles are extremely complex. There are 26 bones, 33 joints, and 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles in your feet, to be exact. The ankle provides the foundation for the foot and acts as a shock absorber, as well as a mechanism for propulsion. Each year about two million Americans visit the doctor for ankle pain from arthritis or fracture. An estimated 50,000 people a year experience end-stage ankle arthritis, in which the ankle cartilage has worn away completely, causing painful bone-on-bone rubbing and some level of disability.”
