Purpose
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.

Further study details as provided by Núcleo de Estudos em Esportes e Ortopedia, Brazil:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Reduction of pain during active mobilization measured using a visual analogue scale VAS at day 8 [ Time Frame: 8 days ]
- Volumetric measurement of the ankle and foot [ Time Frame: day 1 and day 8 ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Pain during motion against resistance [ Time Frame: day 15 ]
- Functional impairment and global assessment of efficacy by either patient and investigator [ Time Frame: day 15 ]
- Tolerability will be assessed by the frequency of adverse experiences and global assessment of efficacy by either patient and investigator [ Time Frame: day 15 ]
