This classification is for fractures in pediatric age group that involves the physeal growth plate.
Histology
The germinal layer of the growing bone is on the epiphysis. Cells proliferate towards the metaphysis with more mature cells at that end ossifying.
Damage to the growing or proliferating part of the growth plate may result in premature halt of cell growth and bone growth.
Classification (Original)
Type I - fracture through the hypertrophic part of the physeal plate without involving the metaphysis or epiphysis.
Type II - fracture involving the metaphysis and physeal plate.
Type III - fracture involving the epiphysis and physeal plate.
Type IV - through and through fracture involving both epiphysis and metaphysis through the growth plate.
Type V - Crush injury of the physeal plate.
Other rarer types:
Type VI - Injury to perichondral stuctures.
Type VII - Isolated injury to epiphyseal plate.
Type VIII - Isolated injury to metaphysis with possible injury to endochondral ossification.
Type IX - Injury to periosteum that may interfere with membranous growth.
Prognosis and Complications
Type I and II are associated with better prognosis and usually require only conservative management.
Type III and above may require surgical intervention because of the potential complications of limb length discrepanciesor shortening, angulation of limbs, and intraarticular involvement that may result in chronic disability.
Future Topics:
- Fracture management in pediatrics
- Fractures specific to pediatric age groups (ie. Supracondylar fracture)
- CRITOE: Ossification in children

nice! thx for the quick revision! :))
ReplyDeleteIt was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure's I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
