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.
