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.
