  2. Salter–Harris fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SalterHarris_fracture

    A SalterHarris fracture is a fracture that involves the epiphyseal plate (growth plate) of a bone, specifically the zone of provisional calcification. [2] It is thus a form of child bone fracture. It is a common injury found in children, occurring in 15% of childhood long bone fractures. [3]

    SCFE is a Salter-Harris type 1 fracture (fracture through the physis or growth plate) through the proximal femoral physis, which can be distinguished from other Salter-Harris type 1 fractures by identifying prior epiphysiolysis, an intact (in chronic SCFE) or partially torn (in acute SCFE) periosteum, and the displacement being slower. Stress ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillaux_fracture

    A Tillaux fracture is a SalterHarris type III fracture through the anterolateral aspect of the distal tibial epiphysis. [1] It occurs in older adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15 when the medial epiphysis had closed but before the lateral side has done so, [2] due to an avulsion of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament, at the opposite end to a Wagstaffe-Le Fort avulsion fracture

    This fracture is unique because it occurs during a certain period of adolescence, when there is a differential rate of growth of the epiphysis. In honor of his discovery, a fracture of the anteriolateral tibial epiphysis is now called a Tillaux fracture — often misdiagnosed as a simple sprain.

    The Thurstan Holland sign [1] or fragment, also known as the shiny corner sign, [2] is the small metaphyseal triangular portion of bone carried with the physis in type II and IV SalterHarris fractures. The sign was named after the Liverpool pioneer in radiology, Charles Thurstan Holland (1863–1941). [3]

    Fractures are described by their location and shape, and several classification systems exist, depending on the location of the fracture. A common long bone fracture in children is a SalterHarris fracture. [80] When fractures are managed, pain relief is often given, and the fractured area is often immobilised. This is to promote bone healing.
