NCT00525993

Brief Summary

The investigators will study 2 doses of etoricoxib to prove that 60 mg once daily will be non-inferior to etoricoxib 90mg daily (for 14 days) in the treatment of acute ankle sprain in sports. The investigators objective is to discuss the point that the investigators will follow the minimal dose that is effective for the treatment of this acute condition in orthopedic.
