Candidate item inclusion and acceptability threshold determination by Delphi round.
| Item | Round in which consensus was achieved | Panel agreement, % |
|---|---|---|
| 1a. Medial clear space | 1 | 88 |
| 1b. Acceptable MCS ≤ 4 mm | 2 | 76 |
| 2a. Medial malleolar displacement | 1 | 96 |
| 2b. Acceptable MMD ≤ 2 mm | 3 | 95 |
| 3a. Lateral malleolar displacement | 1 | 96 |
| 3b. Acceptable LMD ≤ 2 mm | 3 | 95 |
| 4a. Tibiofibular clear space | 1 | 75 |
| 4b. Acceptable TFCS ≤ 5 mm | 3 | 100 |
| 5a. Talocrural angle | 3 | 95 |
| 5b. Acceptable = 80° ± 5 | 3 | 95 |
| 6a. Talar tilt angle | Failed to reach consensus after 3 rounds > excluded | |
| 6b. Acceptable = N/A |
LMD, lateral malleolar displacement; MCS, medial clear space; MMD, medial malleolar displacement; N/A, not applicable; TFCS, tibiofibular clear space.
