(English) Episode 15-Ankle-GO - The Objective Score Revolutionizing Ankle Sprain Recovery and Return-to-Sport

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is the most common sports injury, leading to a high rate of recurrence and the development of chronic ankle instability. One possible explanation is the lack of objective, evidence-based criteria to inform return to sport decisions following LAS. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the efficacy of a new functional score to distinguish patients at risk of recurrent LAS within two years after the initial injury.(Picot B, Fourchet F, Lopes R, Rauline G, Freiha K, D’hooghe P, et al.
