What are the classificaton of fractures?
The Salter-Harris classification of fractures was devised to describe fractures in children with open growth plates. There are 5 different classifications: * I - the fracture is through the physis only - 5% of fractures * II - the fracture is through the physis and involves the metaphysis - about 75% of fractures * III - the fracture is through the physis and involves the epiphysis - about 8% * IV - the fracture is through the metaphysis, physis and epiphysis - about 10% * V - the fracture is a crush injury to the physeal plate - uncommon This classification is used to describe the fracture and also is used to determine the likelihood of growth disturbance. Growth disturbance is unlikely with type I and II fractures and more common with type III, and very common with type IV or V, even with early surgical repair.
