Andrew is a young boy who loves to climb trees. While attempting to climb his favorite oak tree, Andrew fell and fractured his humerus. The radiologist described Andrew’s injury a transverse fracture that spanned his epiphyseal growth plate. The doctor tells his parents that:

This type of fracture can be treated with immobilization.

Explanation:

Bone grows as tissue that is added to the physeal disk (growth plate), which is surrounded by the metaphysis at the proximal level and the epiphysis at the distal level. Children with injuries involving the epiphysis, as well as the growth plate, or that compress the growth plate, tend to have a worse prognosis. Epiphysiolysis fractures and epiphyseal fractures are more serious due to the greater possibility of complications: growth arrest, progressive deformity due to asymmetric growth cartilage involvement, or future osteoarthritis due to joint incongruity.  The fundamental steps in the treatment of fractures are: reduction, if displaced, and immobilization. The objectives are: pain relief, correct consolidation and avoid possible complications
