Explanation:

The human foot is a part of the body that is located at the end of the foot. It can be divided into the hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. It is comprised of 33 joints, 26 bones, many ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

The arches of the human foot include two longitudinal arches: inner and outer; one transverse arch and one anterior metatarsal arch.

Metatarsophalangeal joint sprain, also called the turf toe, is a very common injury of the foot and is common among athletes. In this injury, the connective tissue located between the big toe and the foot is sprained. The healing time is about 2-3 weeks.

Therefore, turf toe refers to the great toe sprain.
