About this trial
Ankle sprain is a frequent and widely trivialized trauma. Misdiagnosed or poorly treated, it can recur and thus develop into chronic ankle instability. It can be associated with complications which, if not detected early, can lead to long-term sequelae.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Severity score by ultrasound (US) assesment
Collected in medical record. This system utilises a classification that is based on injury severity related to the amount of tissue damage and associated functional loss. It categorises muscle injuries into three grades, ranging from grade 1 with no appreciable tissue tear, grade 2 with tissue damage and reduced strength of the musculotendinous unit and grade 3 with complete tear of musculotendinous unit and complete loss of function
Secondary outcomes
Severity score by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assesment
Collected in medical record. This system utilises a classification that is based on injury severity related to the amount of tissue damage and associated functional loss. It categorises muscle injuries into three grades, ranging from grade 1 with no appreciable tissue tear, grade 2 with tissue damage and reduced strength of the musculotendinous unit and grade 3 with complete tear of musculotendinous unit and complete loss of function
Severity score by radiologist assesment
Collected in medical record. Empirical score : low, mild, severe
