PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS:

S89.021A: Salter-Harris type 2 physeal fracture of the right distal tibia.

The Salter-Harris (SH) Classification System is a way to grade fractures that involve the growth plate

(physis). Seventy-five % of lower extremity fractures in children are SH type 2. (Levine et al., 2022) When a

Pt presents with ankle symptomsa detailed history and physical examination are crucial. Although a nurse

practitioner may provide initial care and refer to a pediatric orthopedic specialist, obtaining details about

the trauma may help narrow down the differentials and testing needed. In addition, a basic understanding

of the pediatric anatomy can leadto a better understanding of the mechanism of injury. Bone growth is

not completefor a male until somewhere between the ages of 14 to 17 years old. Growth plates are made

of cartilage and as the child ages, the cartilage hardens into bone which isless flexible and rubbery. (Su &

Larson, 2015) AC is 14 years old and because his growth plates are still primarily cartilage, the risk of SH

fracture is high. AC presented with right ankle pain, swelling and bruising. On exam, his inability to

walk/bear weight and the presence of right ankle bony tenderness make a fracture much more likely.

(Levine et al., 2022)
