| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: To determine the diagnostic performance of the rules of Ottawa for fractures in acute ankle injuries in the Bethlehem Hospital of Trujillo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional diagnostic tests that evaluated 114 patients with acute ankle injury, which were divided into two groups at the end of the study; Group I (40 patients with ankle fracture) and Group II (74 patients without ankle fracture). RESULTS: The overall mean age of the sample was 36,05 ± 16,25 years, the mean for the group I was 42,23 ± 18,24 years and for group II was 32,72 ± 14,10 (p 0,05). Regarding the mechanism of injury, in group I predominated falls by 50% and in group II this mechanism was present in 39,19% (p < 0,01), the mean disease duration in group I was 11,90 ± 16,11 and in group II 7,06 ± 7,78 (p < 0,05). By relating the rules of Ottawa ankle fracture and on through the x-ray, it was found that in group I the rules of Ottawa ankle fracture was diagnosed in 100% and in group II was 64,86% (p < 0,001 ). Regarding the performance of the rules of Ottawa, to predict fractures ankle, had to sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 100%, 35.14%, 45.45% and 100% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Ottawa rules constitute a diagnostic tool with 100% sensitivity in predicting ankle fracture. |
