The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value are documented for the presence or absence of peroneal pathology in relationship to the anterior drawer stress radiograph. Note that given the significant inverse relationship found between osteochondral lesions of the talus and stress radiographs, the predictive statistics were inverted as well utilizing a positive test as being an anterior drawer < 5 mm. Sn: Sensitivity; Sp: Specificity; PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: Negative predictive value; OLT: Osteochondral lesions of the talus.
