Brief summary
To evaluate the recovery experienced by patients with ankle sprains treated in the adult emergency department of Nantes University Hospital.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is therefore to establish the current situation by describing the practices of doctors working in the adult emergency department of the Nantes University Hospital regarding the initial treatment of ankle sprains, and to assess the rate of recovery experienced by patients one month after their trauma. This preliminary study may be pursued in the future, with a view to proposing new recommendations for the management of ankle sprains in the emergency department.
Interventions
OTHERQuestionnaire
An initial questionnaire is completed on D0, the day of the patient's admission to the emergency department, by the practitioner in charge of the patient, and covers the patient's anamnesis, clinical examination, radiological examinations and treatment. A follow-up telephone visit is then carried out at 30 days by an investigator, to gather information on the clinical and therapeutic evolution, and to evaluate the recovery and evolution of symptoms experienced by the patient in relation to the initial management.
