Non disp fx of the dist fib with part torn aftl&delt show good align on 3 xrays and a ct is it possible this could be an unstable fx that hasnt moved?

Less likely: If you have all those imaging reads, it's unlikely that it's unstable especially if the fracture is nondisplaced. The ligament damage is important, but the provided information, the fracture does not sound unstable. Hope this helps, and if so, please vote for me! thanks.

Well you need an MRI: Sorry to tell you but when you had such an injury damage to the ligaments is possible. And cannot be seen on xray or ct. However your doctor can also examine your ankle joint and see if he feels there is any instability. Ask you doctor about this.
