Diagnostic accuracy and potential triage utility of the Shetty test in foot and ankle trauma: a cross-sectional study
The Shetty test exhibited moderate sensitivity and specificity, alongside a high negative predictive value, supporting its use as a reliable rule-out tool for foot and ankle fractures. Its simplicity, ease of application, and diagnostic potential make it a promising triage adjunct to optimize emergency department resource use. Prospective multicenter validation is warranted before broad clinical adoption.
