Why would a fracture at the epiphysis be important in a child or young child?
The epiphysis, commonly known as the growth plate, is the site of long-bone growth in a child or young adult. If a growing person has a fracture at this site, growth of bone length may be affected on that side, creating uneven limb length.

What happens to bone growth if the epiphyseal plate is damaged?
Bone growth would be stunted due to the damage done to the epiphyseal plate. The degree of which growth would be affected depends on the severity of the injury.
What are the classificaton of fractures?
The Salter-Harris classification of fractures was devised to describe fractures in children with open growth plates. There are 5 different classifications: * I - the fracture is through the physis only - 5% of fractures * II - the fracture is through the physis and involves the metaphysis - about 75% of fractures * III - the fracture is through the physis and involves the epiphysis - about 8% * IV - the fracture is through the metaphysis, physis and epiphysis - about 10% * V - the fracture is a crush injury to the physeal plate - uncommon This classification is used to describe the fracture and also is used to determine the likelihood of growth disturbance. Growth disturbance is unlikely with type I and II fractures and more common with type III, and very common with type IV or V, even with early surgical repair.
