'''Salter-Harris Fractures''': Descriptive terms for [[bone fracture|fracture]]s affecting the [[growth plate]] of a bone. Once bone growth has completed, the term "Salter-Harris Fracture" no longer applies.

==Overview==
Salter-Harris fractures are descriptive terms for [[bone fracture|fracture]]s affecting the [[growth plate]] of a bone. Once bone growth has completed, the term "Salter-Harris Fracture" no longer applies.

Overview

Salter-Harris fractures are descriptive terms for fractures affecting the growth plate of a bone. Once bone growth has completed, the term "Salter-Harris Fracture" no longer applies.

Classification

There are six types of Salter-Harris fractures:[1]

  • Type I - A transverse fracture through the growth plate (also referred to as the "physis"):[2] 6% incidence
