Ankle sprain study seeks to predict chronic instability

NCT ID NCT02955485

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study looked at 460 adults who came to the emergency room after an ankle sprain. Researchers wanted to find out which patients would go on to develop chronic ankle instability, a condition where the ankle keeps giving way. They measured things like ankle bone shape, body mass index, and sports activity to build a prediction model. The goal is to help doctors decide who might benefit from early surgery, avoiding unnecessary procedures for those who will recover on their own.
