Subject: Right ankle lateral malleolus fracture

A large fragment s/l with skins constituted the entire lateral malleolus. Does this sound right? The with skins constituted doesn't seem to sound right to me. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

level or lever A ankle fracture? sm
Subject: level or lever A ankle fracture? sm

I found this

Type A: fracture below the ankle joint
Type B: fracture at the level of the joint, with the tibiofibular ligaments usually intact
Type C: fracture above the joint level which tears the syndesmotic ligaments.

I assume it should be level A but sounds like he is definitely saying lever so just wanted to verify that it is correct.
