Ligaments of the ankle.

Before the introduction of the rules most patients with ankle injuries would have been imaged.

The Ottawa ankle rules determine the necessity of obtaining x-rays in patients with acute ankle injuries. These guidelines were created to minimize the expense of unnecessary x-rays. [9]
