Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults scheduled for arthroscopic ankle surgery who can give informed consent, are covered by health insurance, and can attend follow-ups for one year.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with very recent traumatic injuries (<1 month), prior ankle surgery, inability to attend one-year follow-up, pregnant women, or those under legal protection are excluded and would not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This protocol will enroll adult patients undergoing ankle arthroscopy at Clinique Saint Jean and follow them for one year after surgery. Patients will attend scheduled follow-ups at 15 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, during which surgeons and physical therapists will perform clinical and functional examinations. Participants will complete self-assessment questionnaires and undergo standardized functional tests including ALR RSI, FAAM AVQ, FAAM Sport, CAIT, and Ankle Go to document function and symptoms. The primary outcome is a descriptive record of all complications occurring within one year based on those clinical, functional, and self-reported measures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians anticipate, detect, and manage common complications after ankle arthroscopy to improve recovery.
How similar studies have gone: While postoperative surveillance is common and similar monitoring has described complications after other arthroscopic procedures, comprehensive one-year ankle-specific complication datasets remain limited.
