Ottawa Ankle and Knee Rules Calculator
Ottawa Ankle and Knee Rules: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers pain location. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Ottawa Ankle and Knee Rules Calculator is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering clinical dosing and scores.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: pain location, specific tenderness points, weight bearing ability and age.
Outputs: imaging indicated or not and which rule applied.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Decision rules rather than scores: ankle radiography is indicated with malleolar zone pain plus bone tenderness at the posterior edge or tip of either malleolus or inability to bear weight both immediately and in the emergency department; separate midfoot and knee rules apply the same structure.
