"Ankle and foot injuries are common presentations to the Emergency Department, and it can often be difficult to know whether imaging is required. In 1992, Dr. Ian Stiell and his colleagues developed The Ottawa Ankle Rules1,2 to facilitate this decision. The Ottawa ankle and foot rules are highly sensitive and widely used as a tool to reduce unnecessary imaging in Emergency Departments."
