Overview
Salter-Harris Fractures: 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

- Type II - A fracture through the growth plate and the metaphysis, sparing the epiphysis:[3] 75% incidence

- Type IV - A fracture through all three elements of the bone, the growth plate, metaphysis, and epiphysis:[5] 10% incidence

- Type V - A compression fracture of the growth plate (resulting in a decrease in the perceived space between the epiphysis and diaphysis on x-ray):[6] 1% incidence
- Type VI - Injury to the peripheral portion of the physis and a resultant bony bridge formation which my produce an angular deformity. (Added in 1969 by Mercer Rang.)
