Ankle injuries are a common reason for a visit to the emergency department. But @SickKidsNews' #ChoosingWisely QI toolkit shows an x-ray isn’t always necessary for low-risk paediatric ankle injuries. Download now: https://t.co/ZmkTyXDoPz ⬇️

Did you know minor ankle injuries, including many breaks don't require X-rays or plaster casts? Read our toolkit "Say Nay to the X-ray" for more info: https://t.co/Gz3CxJlFZ2
