- UlcerA diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, 6 percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication. People who use insulin are at higher risk of developing a foot ulcer, as are patients with diabetes-related kidney, eye, and heart disease. Being overweight and using alcohol and tobacco also play a role in the development of foot ulcers.

Tripping or stumbling on uneven ground is another common cause of foot and ankle sprains. Pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking on the affected foot or ankle are the most common symptoms.
