Talk:Diagnostic Imaging of the Foot and Ankle for Physical Therapists
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.
