About this trial
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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1-year post-surgery return to sport : Tegner questionnaire
evaluation of sport practice level with Tegner questionnaire : Likert scale from 0 (professionnal disability) to 10 (professionnal sport)
Secondary outcomes
Sports level at 1 year post-surgery compared with previous level
Questionnaire "yes/no"
Number of hours of sport per week
Self administered questionnaire
Ankle instability scale (FAAM questionnaire : Foot and Ankle Ability Measure)
self-administered questionnaire to measure patients' functional progress. It comprises two subscales: a 21-item daily activity subscale, and an 8-item sports subscale. For each subscale, each item is rated on a Likert scale from 0 to 4.
Pain: EVA analog scale
EVA scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal possible pain)
