Garden is capped per my ortho book.
From googling I suspect it should be Garden type IV fracture. There are hits where it is referred to as grade, but the ones that call it a type look more authentic to me. More research might be in order.

numbers - type out versus arabic
Question: What is the rule of thumb: In a report I know it is in medication and measurements like 5 mg and 5 inches. But what about in dictation? 5 weeks or five weeks, 5 children or five children. I know BOS changed their policy on using more arabic numbers instead of typing out. Can someone advise what is the preferred way? Does it apply something to things or objects versus units of time like 5 weeks or 5 days? Thank you.

numerals. Always arabic.
However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for. The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS. Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)
