Often times, I get called to triage to help decide whether a patient should be sent to Radiology for an initial x-ray after injuring their knee, ankle, and/or foot. After teaching one of the nurses about the Ottawa rules, she taped a list of these rules on the triage wall.This installment of the Paucis Verbis (In a Few Words) e-card series reviews Ottawa Knee, Ankle, and Foot Rules.
Feel free to download this card and print on a 4'' x 6'' index card.
Revised the card to reference the article which prospective validated the Ottawa Knee rules for pediatrics. Thanks to Nadim for bringing my attention to this.
