Summary

Ankle sprain is one of the most common pathologies in the general population (between 2.1 and 3.2 per 1000 patients per year). Nearly 40% of patients will develop chronic instability in the year following the sprain. We also know that a premature return to sport is a risk factor for developing chronic instability. However, despite the consensus of experts on the subject which have shown the key physiological elements to evaluate before resuming sport, no test or cohort of tests are proposed to allow a safe return to sport by reducing the risks of relapse. Some very recent studies have appeared on non-operated subjects but this remains a subject that is still too little studied, where the lack of consensus and objective criteria increases the risk of instability. Surgical treatment remains an effective option to reduce the risk of recurrence but failure of the latter can occur in approximately 13-37% of patients depending on the population, due to a relapse or a return to sport which does not correspond to expectations. of the patient.

The objective of the study is therefore to evaluate the predictive nature of a composite test (ANKLE-GO) regarding the return to sport at the same level and the risks of recurrence.
