A fracture of the epiphysis and physis - growth plate - presents a special problem because fractures at these sites may result in the abnormal growth of bone ends.
This type of injury is most often seen in boys and has a peak incidence in infancy and between 10 and 12 years of age.
These injuries are classified using the Salter-Harris Classification.
