Ottawa Ankle Rules-X-Rays in Ankle Injuries-1992 Abstract Ankle fracture rate in acute injury (twisting, falls, direct blows, motor vehicle accidents) was shown to be less than 15%, yet radiographic assessment was typically the second most commonly performed musculoskeletal examination in the Emerge...
Conclusions: The Ottawa ankle rules are very sensitive and can be applied in children, resulting in a reduction in the use of X-rays studies.doi:10.1007/s10140-002-0207-xMohammed Z. Al OmarGregory A. BaldwinSpringer-VerlagEmergency Radiology...
