MRIs can detect fractures that aren’t evident on x-rays. Having watched his injury a ligament injury is more likely than a fracture, although both would be in the differential diagnosis. A x-ray usually can’t detect a ruptured ligament unless there is widening of the joint space or an avulsion fracture to suggest ligament injury. He would need an MRI to confirm or rule out a ruptured ligament. And since they have one at the stadium, I was just wondering . . .
