The reviewed articles were concerned primarily with missed fractures and improving fracture detection [1-4] or with the establishment of clinical criteria that would decrease the number of ankle radiographs without missing significant injuries [5-15]. Ankle injuries are frequently diagnosed and treated in US emergency departments (EDs) with an incidence of approximately 200 visits per 100,000 person-years [16,17].
