A member asked:
Do tiny fracture in children cause physeal injuries or only serious fracture do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physis: The physis implies the growth plate. There are 5 different fractures that can involve the growth plate. Some are more serious than others and they often require different treatments. There are fractures that do not involve the growth plate also. A fracture that is not displaced is good. If you let us know the type of fracture, we can help with your question. All the best.
