Jermaine is a 22-year-old collegiate soccer player who injured his ankle when another player landed on his leg while his foot was planted. The ankle was forced into dorsiflexion and external rotation. Three days later, he has pain and tenderness over the anterolateral distal tibiofibular region, especially during push-off. Which of the following examination procedures would be MOST appropriate to assess the suspected injury? A) Stabilize the lower leg and translate the talus and calcaneus anteriorly. B) Stabilize the lower leg and externally rotate the foot with the ankle slightly dorsiflexed. C) Stabilize the foot and externally rotate the tibia while applying an inversion force to the ankle. D) Stabilize the lower leg and invert the calcaneus to tilt the talus. Download my Top Ankle Special Tests for the NPTE - https://www.nptecheatsheet.com/ankle-tests
