Three views of the right ankle demonstrate healing in more or less anatomic position, with less than 1-mm stepoff on a s/l "P". No widening of the medial mortis. The fifth metatarsal is healed.
Thanks for any help.

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.
