Ankle sprains are the most frequently encountered trauma in emergency and general medicine. Lateral ankle sprain injuries have the highest relapse rate of all musculoskeletal injuries of the lower limbs. Optimal initial management is essential for a successful return to previous condition, with the aim of preventing chronic ankle instability, chronic pain, stiffness or recurrence. One of the 13 physicians at our facility routinely performs an ultrasound routinely scan during the second consultation to assess the severity of the sprain. We would therefore like to evaluate whether the performance of this examination at the time of clinical reassessment is associated with a better prognosis at 3 months post-trauma.

Value of systematic ultrasound in the initial assessment of ankle sprains on patients' quality of life and sporting activities at 3 months post-injury trauma.
Comparison of ankle-specific quality of life in terms of activities of daily living and sporting activities. This criterion will be measured using the FAAM (Foot and Ankle Ability Measure), a specific questionnaire functional evaluation of the ankle in these activities.

Ran from Mar 2025 to primary completion in Dec 2025, 8 months.
Of 34 non-industry observational studies under Ankle Injuries, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 45. This study's 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 38 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 45.
