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.
Comminuted Fractures are more common in the elderly, because their brittle bones are more like to have the shattering-type effect of the Comminuted fracture.
