Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

The measuring device for diagnosis of ankle injuries is presented. Using that device it was possible to determine and compare the polar coordinates of certain points in healthy and injured joints on direct and lateral radiograms. The device enabled to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, allow to quantitatively assess the degree of bone fragment displacement and trauma severity.
