Detailed explanation-1: -A Salter-Harris type I fracture refers to a fracture line that runs straight across the growth plate, involving the cartilage without affecting the bone. Type I may cause the epiphysis, or the rounded end of the bone, to separate from the rest of the bone.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Salter-Harris type 1 fracture is the mildest type of fracture that can occur to a growth plate. The distal fibula is the bone on the outside of the ankle. This injury typically occurs after inverting, or rolling the ankle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Type II fractures involve a break from the growth plate up into the metaphysis, with the periosteum usually remaining intact. Type III fractures are intra-articular fractures through the epiphysis that extend across the physis. Type IV fractures cross the epiphysis, physis, and metaphysis.
