Question: Were there any reported time-frames that are associated with imaging of the foot for fractures? I know there are reported incidents of x-rays mis-diagnosing a fracture because it was too acute to pick up.

Mike, great job! I like how you incorporated the Ottawa Ankle rules as a screen prior to seeking out radiographs for potential fractures.
-Thanks!
What do the letters on the hallux valgus image indicate?
-The letters on the Hallux Valgus image are to label each line. The study looked at a number of different angles with regards to hallux valgus deformity.
Also, on the radiograph of a syndesmotic ankle sprain – what do arrows indicate?
-The arrows indicate "clear space" or the widening that is indicative of widening of the syndesmosis. >5mm of clear space is considered abnormal.
Table of Contents[edit source]
Error where #3 is (does not link to anything)
- Good call. I have tried to correct it, but am unsure how to change the format. Any ideas?
Hallux Valgus[edit source]
Typo on "Because this is a boney deformity a radiograph is the gold standard for determining Hallux Valgus"
Should be "bony"
