- Etiology: trauma
- Imaging: fracture appearance acronym in relation to growth plate is SALTR – I = Slipped, II = Above (into metaphysis), III = BeLow (into epiphysis), IV = Through, V = Rammed
— Type I is fracture through physis
— Type II is fracture through physis and metaphysis
— Type III is fracture through physis and epiphysis
— Type IV is fracture through epiphysis to metaphysis
— Type V is crush injury to physis - Complications: in Types III / IV / V can see bony bridge forming across growth plate during healing leading to premature fusion of growth plate and length discrepancy
