A 20 year old, female college soccer player sustained an injury this morning when she was at soccer practice. When the nurse asked her what happened she states that she was running towards the ball as it was rolling towards the side line and extended her left leg to keep the ball from going out of play. She states she felt a “pop” followed by instant, unyielding pain. She had to be assisted to a standing position and has not been able to bear any weight on the injured left leg. The soccer player’s coach drove her to the orthopedic emergency department. After obtaining an X-ray of the left leg, the nurse anticipates the health care provider will order which test to further analyze the patient’s injury?
