A 45-year-old immigrant man, recently arrived from a region with a high prevalence of endemic infectious diseases, presents with a 6-month history of chronic, worsening ankle pain, swelling, and stiffness. He denies any history of trauma. Physical examination shows a diffusely swollen, warm ankle with a restricted range of motion. Laboratory workup reveals mildly elevated inflammatory markers (ESR and CRP), but is negative for rheumatoid factor (RF) and antinuclear antibodies (ANA). MRI shows extensive bony destruction and joint erosion on both sides of the tibiotalar joint, highly suspicious for an aggressive infective or inflammatory arthropathy, but no discrete mass. Given the patient's history, presentation, and atypical nature of the joint destruction, what is the most appropriate next diagnostic step?
