In response to "I was just stepping out of a cab and rolled it." by Ender

I did something similar walking down the stairs at work. Stepped wrong off the bottom step, crunched the ankle and broke the fibula.

Doc said there's a particular name for that kind of fracture. It's nature's way of trying to protect the ankle from even more damage - in my case it more or less worked, the ankle wasn't hurt near as bad as it might have been.
